A Mile High USS Denver A Mile Ahead LPD 9 BW (U.S. Navy) STICKER Vinyl Die-Cut Decal - Design Description

This sticker features a striking design reflecting the proud legacy of the USS Denver (LPD-9), a U.S. Navy amphibious transport dock ship. Rendered in a classic black and white color scheme, the artwork centers on the ship's motto and its connection to its namesake city.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design prominently displays the motto, "A Mile High – A Mile Ahead." This phrase is a powerful visual representation. "A Mile High" directly references Denver, Colorado, known as the "Mile High City" due to its elevation. This component immediately links the ship to its home city, a symbol of pride and identity.

The second part of the motto, "A Mile Ahead," goes beyond a simple geographical reference. It embodies the values of progress, readiness, and unwavering excellence that the ship and its crew aimed to embody. The design, therefore, communicates a forward-thinking spirit, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of superiority in service.

The inclusion of "LPD 9" (the ship's designation) clearly identifies the subject of the artwork, connecting the design to a specific ship and its history. This is further reinforced by the representation of the U.S. Navy.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sticker’s overall design is rich in symbolism. It is a visual celebration of the USS Denver's service. The design pays homage to the ship's namesake city, Denver, while emphasizing the ship's mission of forward-thinking action and leadership during its years of service to the United States Navy. This sticker is a symbol of military pride and a tribute to the commitment of the USS Denver (LPD-9) and its crew.

Die-cut vinyl decals: precision-cut shapes on premium water-resistant vinyl with a matte laminate and UV protection — built to resist sun, rain and everyday wear for long-lasting use.

These die-cut decals are trimmed exactly to the design, producing crisp edges and a professional finish. They’re made from thick, water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate that reduces glare while protecting colors from fading.

The production process uses eco-solvent inks for dense, even color and a protective overlaminate that helps the decal survive outdoor exposure. Rated for multi-year outdoor life when applied to the right surface, these decals give a clean, matte look without sacrificing durability.

  • Material: premium water-resistant vinyl engineered for weather resistance.
  • Finish: matte laminate that mutes shine and guards against scratches.
  • Print: eco-solvent inks for solid blacks and vivid color depth.
  • Protection: UV laminate extends outdoor life and helps prevent fade.
  • Longevity: rated to last multiple years outdoors under normal conditions.

Die-cut decals adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces — glass, metal, coated plastics and finished wood. They work well on bottles, windows, laptops and vehicle windows for short- to medium-term outdoor use.

  1. Prep the surface: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth; for residue use mild soap and water and allow to dry fully.
  2. Peel and position: lift a corner of the liner, align the decal and lay it down slowly, pressing from the center outward.
  3. Seal: smooth the edges with a card or your thumb to ensure full contact and reduce trapping air.

Note: to keep adhesive performance in wet conditions, apply decals to very smooth surfaces (for example: glass). Avoid rough or heavily textured materials where the adhesive can’t form a full bond.

Maintenance is low-effort. Gently wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp microfiber and light pressure will clean the surface — dry immediately afterward.

Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents or power washers; these can scratch the laminate or lift edges. Proper care preserves the matte finish and keeps colors vivid for longer.

Sizes are specified by the longest side. For example, a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork’s contour so the decal sits flush with clean, professional edges.

Small variations can occur with intricate outlines, but the listed measurement always reflects the maximum edge-to-edge length for accurate placement planning.
