In 2008, Sans Soucie Art Glass Studios was selected to carve the Presidential Seal for the brand new aircraft carrier the "USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77)". The seal is sculpture carved in 3 dimensions on a 1/2" thick, 28" wide x 46" tall piece of "Starphire" Clear Glass. The impressive design is finished with the signature of 41st President, George H.W. Bush just beneath it and is illuminated by LED
edge lighting to give it an authorative presence. The piece is now on display in the entrance of the Tribute Room on board the ship, where photographs and biographical information about George H.W. Bush are arrayed to honor the namesake of the ship.
Named after the nations 41st President, the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) is the 10th and final Nitmitz-class aircraft carrier. This revolutionary ship with its numerous improvements and modernizations will pave the way to a new class of carriers. We are honored to be a part of this significant piece of our nation's Naval fleet.
