^lol@that thread. This most of all..
" So...would wearing that piss off actual veterans? I'm honestly asking. I saw a guy who was wearing an actual one of those (from a real ship) but had never served get yelled at by someone who had. Is that a typical sentiment among those who have served, or was that guy just a rage case? I just ask because it's awesome and I'd love to throw money at getting one, but I'm not too big on pissing off/getting my ass kicked by veterans. I'd still buy it, just leave it on a shelf." My father is a 30year ship builder. he has at least a hundred hats like those from the ships he's worked on or launched from Ingalls ship builders in Pascagoula Mississippi. I have a few zippo lighters from random missle boats,and light carriers that have been launched over the years. the real hats are available to the public at those events. |

Not sure if the store is a nation wide chain but I have a place named Lids, they can take any plain hat in their store and embroider it custom to match what you want (including the ship) I have had them make me a few custom hats and the cost is reasonable at around $25 -$30 total ( that includes the cost of hat and the embroidery)

Probably has more to with not actually serving on the ship and it not being real. A lot of honor and work goes into those guys hard work on on those ships, i guess some take it as insult. Best not wear it in a Navy Vet Bar or steel/ship building areas maybe? i dunno lol...
