A Wearable Piece of Battleship History Step aboard history with this exclusive MA-1 Bomber Jacket, crafted as part of our Legacy Patches Capsule Collection. Each jacket features nine authentic reproduction patches representing the proud service of USS New Jersey (BB-62) across World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, and her final deployments before becoming America’s most decorated battleship. This isn’t just a jacket, it’s a museum piece you can wear. Limited in quantity, each piece carries the legacy of the crew that served aboard her and the moments that defined a nation. The Patches & Their Stories Every patch sewn onto this jacket tells a chapter of USS New Jersey’s story: 1982 Ship’s Crest (Oval) – The longest-serving crest, worn widely during the ship’s 1980s commission. 1945 WWII Crest (Round) – Created by the crew during World War II, honoring the 9 battle stars she earned. 1989 WestPac Marine Detachment – Fewer than 100 originals made; issued during the largest post-WWII deployment of warships. 1984 Lebanon Peacekeeper – Marks her final combat action during the Lebanese Civil War. 1968 “Battleship is Back” – Celebrates her reactivation for the Vietnam War. 1983 Helicopter Detachment (Sea Snakes) – One of the rarest patches, originally worn by just 20 aviators. 1951 Korean War UN Patch – Honors the crew who endured her only combat fatality. 2001 Museum Patch – Designed upon her preservation in Camden, NJ. 1990 WestPac Battle Group Romeo – Her last deployment as a flagship before retirement. Rocker Patch & US Flag – A nod to how sailors marked their uniforms to show battleship pride.
