USS Los Angeles SSN 688 Prints, Drawings,
and Shirts
USS Los Angeles SSN 688 was decommissioned 23 JAN 2010 in
Los Angeles after 33+ years of service. It is the intention of the
decommissioning committee that at least a portion of the boat will become a part
of the museum there. To commemorate the decommissioning, and to honor the
ship and the crews that manned her, two of our artists have produced artworks
featuring the LOS ANGELES.
George Bieda has put together one of his classic profile
drawings of the USS Los Angeles. As you can see in the
larger
image, which you can view by clicking on the thumbnail, the print includes the
sub's profile, the ship's patch, a builder's plaque listing important dates in
the ship's life, and many of the ship's specifications. We produce these
prints in our shop here in NJ using high quality giclee printers. They are
printed on heavy-weight, acid-free, archival stock to ensure many years of
enjoyment. The inks we use are guaranteed not to fade for 75 years.
We can add up to 3 lines of personalization to each print, making them truly
unique. This would typically include your name, rate/rank, and years
served aboard. If you have any questions about personalization, give us a
call toll-free (888-465-5389).
Mark Karvon has taken a different approach to the
de-activation of USS Los Angeles. He has produced a commemorative work
showing the sub at sea, with a cutaway view showing her above and below the
water-line. The location represented is just off the US coast, as the
Continental Shelf drops off into the ocean's depths. Here, she is about to
run Swift, Silent, Deadly! The print is offered in two sizes, both signed
by the artist. You can view a larger version of the image by clicking on
the thumbnail, then click your browser's BACK button to return to this
page. Below the print image, Mark has included both first and last
ship's patch, along with the dates of service. Discounted prices will only
be in effect through February, so don't miss the opportunity to pick up this
terrific print, and save a few dollars!
