Sub is covered in NW Indian graphics breeching like a Killer Whale.Dolphins are silver and gold with Port and Starboard running light eyes. All overlaying a map of the sate of Washington. In silhouette, in the green, is the battleship Washington from WW II. The two gold stars represent the two capital ships that bear the Washington name. Thing must be hell to stitch with all the colors and detail. Interesting the hull number matches the design number of the Boeing Dreamliner airplane, 787. Some lobbying went on for that. Only thing missing is Vashon Island were I grew up. it sits in Puget Sound between Seattle and Tacoma. It isn't on the state outline. It is a big island and take a lot of map space.
