Vintage 1970\'s-1980\'s USS Kamehameha SSBN 642 CREW-ISSUED t-shirt 50/50 Men\'s L:
$33.33
Likely VERY RARE crew-issued submariner t-shirt.
NOTE: I am classifying this shirt as an original period-correct crew-issuedt-shirt, as evidenced by the ONLY decoration being the simple block lettership\'s title with a submarine being flanked by 2 dolphins and the ship\'sclassification below--which is the SAME design as the badge a US Navysubmariner wears. That this shirt has JUST the simple name, submariner\'sdecoration, and ship\'s number on it, on the left front chest, and NOTHINGelse is consistent with what a crew member would be issued to wearin a casualsetting.
I am of theopinion that garments such as this are very rarelydiscardedbecause they would be cherished mementos of proudservice.That the USS Kamehameha is such a noteworthy submarinefrom being named after a Hawiian king would make such itemsthat much more desirable for military collectors.
The USS Kamehameha served as SSBN 642 from December1965 to September 1992, so this shirt was created and crew-issuedsometime in that period.
Period-correct 50/50 Poly/Cotton fabric, which was widely used in the 1970\'sand 80\'s.
Ink is beginning to crack from age and there are three small holes in the bottomfront of the shirt, so I would recommend hand washing and air drying ONLYto preserve the print.
If you are looking to wear this shirt, please bear in mind that with a late 1970\'sto early 1980\'s shirt, the \"Large\" designation may be a bit smaller than a 2020\'s\"Large\" size.
Thanks for looking!
