Battling Bastards USS Bataan LHD5 (U.S. Navy) STICKER Vinyl Die-Cut Decal

This striking decal design pays tribute to the USS Bataan (LHD-5) and the brave American and Filipino defenders who fought in the Battle of Bataan during World War II, known as the "Battling Bastards." The artwork encapsulates the spirit of the ship and its namesake.

Design Elements & Representation

The design likely features the hull designation LHD-5, immediately identifying the subject as the USS Bataan. The emblem also incorporates visual references to the warship itself, potentially showcasing its silhouette or key operational capabilities such as helicopters, or landing craft. These details symbolize the vessel's primary mission of projecting military force from sea to land.

Key to the design's power is the inclusion of the phrase "Battling Bastards," a powerful memorial to the soldiers of Bataan. This emphasizes the ship's connection to the historical battle and the profound sacrifices made by its defenders. The visual design, therefore, becomes a symbol of honor, resilience, and remembrance.

The die-cut nature of the decal further enhances its visual impact, allowing for a clean and professional look that makes the symbol a meaningful testament to the ship, its legacy, and the men it honors.

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.
