Description
Honor the proud service and symbolism of the USS Reeves (CG-24) with this finely embroidered ship patch, rich in naval tradition and heraldic meaning.
At the center of the design is a heraldic shield, symbolizing protection, strength, and readiness—core missions of the USS Reeves as a guided missile cruiser tasked with fleet air defense. The chevron and crossed arrows represent vigilance, forward action, and the ship’s role in defending against aerial threats, reflecting Reeves’ advanced missile capabilities during the Cold War era.
Flanking the shield are two trident-bearing figures, drawn from classical maritime imagery. These figures symbolize mastery of the seas, naval power, and global reach. The tridents themselves are traditional emblems of sea dominance and authority, underscoring the ship’s presence wherever duty called.
Above the shield, the eagle stands as a timeless symbol of the United States—representing freedom, strength, and watchfulness—signifying the ship’s service under the U.S. flag and her commitment to defending national interests worldwide.
The motto “Proud to Serve” anchors the design, capturing the spirit, professionalism, and dedication of the officers and crew who served aboard USS Reeves throughout her distinguished career.
Encircled by stars and bordered in bold naval colors, this patch is both a striking collectible and a meaningful tribute to a ship that played a vital role in U.S. naval history.
