USS Asheville Bonefish (U.S. Navy) Vinyl Die-Cut Decal - Design Overview

This decal creatively blends the identities of two U.S. Navy submarines, the USS Asheville and the USS Bonefish, into a single, cohesive design.

Visual Elements and Representation

The artwork likely features elements representing both submarines. The design may integrate imagery associated with the USS Asheville, potentially including its hull shape, the identifying SSN-758 designation, or a representation of Naval Base Guam, where the vessel is deployed. The use of a nuclear symbol subtly alludes to its power source.

To honor the USS Bonefish, the design may incorporate imagery of a bonefish, or a visual representation of both the WWII-era Gato-class submarine (SS-223) and the Cold War-era diesel-electric submarine (SS-582), possibly by depicting both a WWII and Cold War era submarine, side-by-side or as a composite image.

Meaning and Symbolism

The combined design signifies a connection between the history and evolution of the U.S. Navy's submarine force. It pays homage to both the active, modern capabilities of the USS Asheville and the legacy of the USS Bonefish, and by extension, all submariners who have served on those vessels. It represents the continuity and tradition within the submarine community, linking the past, present, and future of the silent service.

The design, being unofficial, also could represent an inside joke or tradition among the submariners. It's about remembering those who served and what they did.

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.
