USS Dubuque LPD-8 Transport Dock Ship Patch

The USS Dubuque (LPD-8) Patch represents the legacy of an amphibious transport dock ship built to move Marines, equipment, and landing craft in support of fleet and expeditionary operations.

This shield-shaped patch features a white field with a bold blue “8” at the center, identifying the ship’s hull number. A gold sword runs diagonally through the design, symbolizing strength and operational readiness, while a castle turret references amphibious warfare and landing force support. Gold stars and a red-and-gold banner reading “Our Country, Heritage & Future” reinforce themes of service, tradition, and mission continuity.

USS Dubuque served for decades as part of the Navy’s amphibious force, supporting operations that required coordination between sea and shore. This patch serves as a visual reminder of that mission and the sailors who carried it out.

An excellent collectible for Navy veterans, amphibious warfare sailors, and those who appreciate U.S. Navy ship history.
