This USS Independence CV-62 Veterans Day Military T-Shirt shows the carrier moving through the ocean in brushstroke detail, and the phrase printed above and below captures the lived reality of having served. "Been there done that" is shorthand for surviving the work, the watches, the long deployments—the full weight of what it meant to be aboard. Wearing it puts you among the people who know exactly what that phrase means, and for their families, it is a visible way to honor what happened on that ship.

Artwork and lettering

The aircraft carrier dominates the center of the print, rendered in a soft, watercolor style that shows the vessel cutting through white-capped waves. The American flag flies from the superstructure, and the flight deck stretches across the hull with its characteristic weathered gray. Above the image, bold block letters read "Been there done that," framing the ship with words that carry the understated gravity of military service. Below, the same strong lettering reads "USS Independence" with the hull number "(CV-62)" underneath, anchoring the ship to its specific identity. The combination of artistic detail and direct text creates a portrait that is both personal and official.
