USS Makin Island (LHD-8) Ship's Crest Vinyl Sticker

USS Makin Island (LHD-8) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship commissioned on 24 October 2009 at Pascagoula, Mississippi. Named for the Battle of Makin during World War II, where Marine Raiders struck a Japanese-held atoll in August 1942, LHD-8 carries forward a legacy of bold amphibious action. She was the first LHD built with an all-electric propulsion system, dramatically improving fuel efficiency. Homeported in San Diego, Makin Island supports Marine Expeditionary Units and projects power across the Pacific. Carry a piece of this powerful warship's history with this durable Ship's Crest vinyl sticker.
