USS Stephen W. Groves (FFG-29), twenty-first ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry-class of guided missile frigates, was named for Ensign Stephen W. Groves (1917-1942), a naval aviator who was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for his heroism at the Battle of Midway during World War II.

\"Caveant Inimici\": The Legacy of FFG-29.

The USS Stephen W. Groves FFG-29 Patch is a tribute to the sailors who manned this hardworking frigate through three decades of service. Named after an aviator who took to the skies to defend the fleet at Midway, the ship carried that same protective spirit as a premier escort and anti-submarine platform. Whether patrolling the \"G.I.U.K. Gap\" during the Cold War or conducting modern counter-piracy and drug interdiction missions, the Groves was always ready to confront the enemy.

Built for History and Longevity This sew-on emblem is crafted to stand the test of time, reflecting the 30-year endurance of the vessel herself. The addition of a plastic backing provides a stable, moisture-resistant layer that makes the sewing process significantly easier for tailors and ensures the patch maintains its sharp, circular profile for decades. It is the definitive choice for those looking to recreate an authentic Cold War or post-9/11 era cruise jacket.

Exceptional Craftsmanship Every stitch is executed to military-grade standards. The design captures the professional heraldry of the ship, featuring the vibrant blue and gold colors of the U.S. Navy and the symbolic shield that represents her defensive capabilities. This patch is a durable piece of naval history designed to stand up to the elements and remain a sharp centerpiece of any veteran\'s collection.
