USS Vandegrift FFG 48 v2 Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal: Design Description

This striking decal presents a dynamic representation of the USS Vandegrift (FFG-48), a proud Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate of the United States Navy. The design masterfully captures the vessel's profile, showcasing its distinct silhouette and iconic features.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central focus is the ship itself, rendered with a high level of detail, emphasizing the hull, superstructure, and key weaponry, including the Mk 13 missile launcher and the 76mm gun. The artist has clearly taken care to accurately depict the ship's various components, creating a sense of realism and respect for the ship.

The design may incorporate elements such as the ship's hull number, "FFG-48," prominently displayed, and potentially, the ship's name, "Vandegrift," to provide clear identification. The overall aesthetic suggests motion and strength.

Meaning and Symbolism

The decal is a tribute to the USS Vandegrift and the sailors who served aboard her. It serves as a symbol of naval power, maritime service, and the dedication of the men and women who protect freedom on the seas. The design aims to evoke a sense of pride and commemorate the ship's role in various operations, including Cold War deployments, the Gulf War, and numerous peacetime missions.

The inclusion of specific ship details, such as weaponry, honors the technology and service of the United States Navy. The decal, therefore, is intended to express a celebration of naval history and the enduring legacy of the USS Vandegrift.

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.
