All maritime fanatics are looking forward to April 11 as the much anticipated National Submarine Day creeps ever closer. It all began on this day in 1900 when the U.S. military purchased their first-ever modern submarine, the USS Holland.
Today we honor this event as it marked the very beginning of the modern fleet that cruises through the oceans to protect the U.S.A. today. Life underwater is tough for the servicemen that control the subs, and they regularly spend weeks and months free from contact with the outside world. The Navy Submariner has not an easy task, but it is an honorable and necessary duty performed by those qualified, brave men and women who keep the public safe.
Both civilians and retired crew members gather for this momentous event to celebrate the sacrifices made in years past and to consider where the future of submarines may lead. Some of the toughest submariners in history can be found in the U.S. Navy, a front-line fighting force that has been a part of numerous battles across the globe.
One of the most exciting parts of this national submarine day will be the release of stunning US Navy metal wall art Submarine Dolphins by a “Brother of The Phin” artist who knows the world of submarines all too well. Chip, founder of the Metal Art Hub, served as a Navy machinist mate during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Since his time underwater, he has discovered a new way to honor the Navy, and that is through the craft of Submarine Warfare Insignia Dolphins metal sculptures.
Chip continues to weld and shape military metal art to keep the famous insignia flying high, with a constant stream of new designs flowing from The Test Depth Custom studio. By using advanced tools such as plasma cutters, this machinist’s mate has been able to formulate finely polished pieces that are completely customizable to customers’ needs.
Now, Metal Art Hub has become a family affair, offering Navy Metal Wall Art on commission to anyone that wishes to represent this branch. It is always impressive to see the skills that a crew member gained in the depths of the ocean transform into something beautiful on land.
The Submarine Warfare Insignia pins approved by Theodore Roosevelt in 1924 as a symbol for tenacious soldiers that managed to pass the strenuous process Navy submariners go through. Since its conception, the insignia has only grown in recognition and value to the entire military.
Many Navy Veterans hold the symbol close to their hearts after years of service to remind themselves of the time that they had in the big blue. Have a look at the Metal Art Hub’s Submarine Dolphin Collection page here to see how they are using military metal art to commemorate this momentous occasion.
