Submarine "Dolphins" Insignia Whimsical Art Lithograph Drawing Size: 16" X 20" Signed & Numbered Edition of 1000 "I received mine this morning, and it's simply amazing! I see something new every time I look at it. You really did justice to the Submarine Force. Bravo Zulu!"
The US. Navy's Silent Service traces its military roots all the way back to the Revolutionary War when the submersible Turtle launched the world's first submarine attack on Sep 07, 1776. Developments in submarine technology continued through the Civil War and into the 20th century, moving from manual propulsion to electric, steam and diesel engines, and finally to atomic power during the Cold War. Today's submarines represent the cutting edge of technological innovation, with missions ranging from mine detection, intelligence and covert ops to conventional attack and nuclear deterrence.
The sailors who perform these rigorous undersea missions are a special breed, representing the most highly trained and exclusive crews anywhere in the world. Only the best earn the privilege of wearing the Submariners coveted Dolphin badge. The Submarine Dolphins drawing honors these courageous sailors.
The objects incorporated into each composite picture relate in some way to the overall theme of the design, usually with an element of humor, and often a healthy dose of pun-ish-ment added. The results are eye-catching, brain-teasing - and most of all, fun!
Would make an excellent addition to your collection or for your favorite sailor!
Please note that the actual coin looks MUCH better than the scan shows.
