👉 Description: This jacket belonged to a sailor assigned to the USS Joseph Hewes (FF-1078).
It is far more than just a standard deck jacket: it is a piece steeped in American naval history, worn aboard a Knox-class frigate that served actively during the Cold War. The ship served the U.S. Navy for over two decades before being transferred to the Taiwanese Navy. The initials “WEPS” on the back indicate the Weapons Division, and the number “051” likely refers to the sailor’s billet. Each stitch carries a piece of naval history, making this jacket a unique relic from a proud crew and their service at sea.
👉 This provenance adds significant value for collectors, as it combines the authenticity of a genuine deck jacket with a well-documented military history, enhancing both its interest and its rarity.
