A closer look at the print

The artwork centers on a photograph of a black submarine cruising through blue water with high-rise buildings visible on the distant shore. Above the image, the words Never underestimate an old man appear in white and distressed blue font, flanked by small blue stars. Below the photo, the text who served on USS Jefferson City SSN-759 is printed over a white brushstroke background. The combination of the specific hull number and the gritty typography creates a distinct tribute to nuclear submarine service. The layout mimics a poster style that celebrates the unique identity of the boat's crew.
