USS John C. Stennis Buckle

USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) is the seventh Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and is named in honor of Senator John. C. Stennis of Mississippi. The mission of John C. Stennis and her air wing (CVW-9) is to conduct sustained combat air operations while forward-deployed.

The largest warships in the world, Nimitz-class aircraft carriers support and operate aircraft that engage in attacks on airborne, afloat, and ashore targets that threaten free use of the sea and engage in sustained power projection operations in support of U.S. and coalition forces. On October the 12th 2023, the aircraft carrier was having its birthday in Newport News Shipbuilding conducting Refueling and Complex Overhaul to prepare the ship for the second half of its 50-year service life.

We were given the task of manufacturing a custom belt buckle for their Operations specialist. We used the shape of a classic military belt buckle, which is a rectangle with a curved top and bottom. They wanted the buckle’s surface to be filled with an engraved image of the ship, and the United States flag as the background.

Constructing a customized belt buckle involves choosing the shape and the belt-tightening mechanism. We had to make sure the quality of parts used were high-quality materials because a belt buckle is an accessory that has a specific function and is used by a lot kind of people.
