De Profundis Tridens USS Sperry AS-12 Decal

This die-cut vinyl decal proudly displays the insignia and motto of the USS Sperry (AS-12), a U.S. Navy submarine tender that served from World War II through the Cold War. The design is a powerful statement of naval heritage and a tribute to the ship's vital role in supporting submarine operations.

Design Elements and Symbolism

At the heart of the design is the Latin phrase "De Profundis Tridens." This translates to "A Trident from the Depths." The words are likely rendered in a bold, military-inspired font, emphasizing strength and authority.

The "Tridens," or trident, is a prominent visual element, symbolizing naval power and control over the sea. Its three prongs likely extend outward, giving a dynamic and imposing presence to the design. This trident, emerging from the depths, evokes the secretive and crucial work of the submarine force. The placement and form of the trident will give a sense of depth and represent strength.

The use of the ship's name, "USS Sperry (AS-12)," is a clear indication of provenance and association with the vessel and is likely styled in a similar font as the motto.

The overall composition is a powerful and iconic representation of naval service, technical excellence, and the spirit of the U.S. Navy. The design is a visual reminder of the "De Profundis Tridens" motto and the vital work the USS Sperry performed for decades.

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.
