United For Freedom SSBN 262 Tecumseh - Design Overview

This sticker features a design inspired by the USS Tecumseh (SSBN-628), a pivotal part of the U.S. Navy's strategic nuclear deterrent during the Cold War. The core visual elements directly reflect the submarine's mission and legacy.

Key Design Elements

The central element of the design likely showcases the name of the vessel, "Tecumseh," combined with the designation "SSBN 262". Note: The provided information highlights that this particular SSBN number is incorrect. The “SSBN” designation, which stands for Ship, Submersible, Ballistic, Nuclear, immediately identifies the vessel's class and purpose.

The design also prominently features the motto "United for Freedom." This phrase encapsulates the submarine's role in maintaining peace through deterrence during a period of global tension. The motto's placement within the design emphasizes the ship's strategic purpose and the values it represented.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design symbolizes the silent strength and unwavering readiness of the USS Tecumseh. The inclusion of the “SSBN” designation speaks to the vessel's unique capabilities, while the name "Tecumseh" pays homage to a prominent Native American leader, tying the ship to American heritage.

While the design incorporates the incorrect hull number "262" instead of the correct "628," the design still captures the essence of a Cold War era nuclear submarine, and is likely a tribute to the crew, their mission, and the submarine itself, while conveying a sense of patriotism and the pursuit of freedom.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
