USS Boxer LHD 4 : Symbols and History

14 Inch USS Bower LHD 4 239x300 USS Boxer LHD 4 : Symbols and HistoryThe USS Boxer LHD 4 is the sixth ship to carry the name BOXER and also the fourth ship of the Wasp class multi-purpose amphibious assault ship (LHD). The fabrication work for LHD 4 commenced at Litton-Ingals in Mississippi in July 9, 1990 and was launched Aug. 13, 1993.

The ship began its service to the Navy as its fourth LHD Feb. 11, 1995 after four years of construction.

The first boxer in American history was actually Her Majesty’s Bristish Ship (HMBS) Boxer, a Brig of 14 guns commanded by Captain Blyth. The HMBS Boxer was sailing off the coast of Portland, Maine Sep. 5, 1813 when she was met by USS Enterprise. The fight that ensued was heroic for both ships, and in the end Boxer’s crew surrendered her to U.S. forces.

The Shield:

The United States is symbolized by the bald eagle whose wings are out-spread beyond the shield to denote the scope beyond her own shores and of the U.S. influence for stability in affairs world-wide. The Border signifies unity and cooperation. The gold is the universal symbol of excellence.

The Swords:

The naval officer’s sword and a Marine Corps mameluke are crossed diagonally to represent strength and cooperation.

The Crest:

The star of six points represents all ships to bear the name Boxer. The octagon charged with a gold star recalls the eight battle stars won by USS Boxer (CV 21) for action off Korea, here symbolized by the Taeguk (symbol from the Republic of Korea’s flag) that bears the star. The wreath of laurel stands for honor and the maintenance and pursuit of peace.

Above photo shows a USS Boxer LHD 4 plaque in full color, hand carved and hand painted at our own workshop. All plaques are made from solid mahogany wood that is kiln dried to prevent warping. For more information, visit www.militaryplaques.com.
