The USS Independence (CV-62) was a Forrestal-class aircraft carrier that became one of the most distinguished vessels in U.S. Naval history. Commissioned in 1959 and decommissioned in 1998, she logged nearly four decades of service including combat operations in Vietnam and crucial Cold War deployments. Her design represented the pinnacle of American carrier engineering, capable of launching and recovering multiple aircraft squadrons while projecting power across the world's oceans.
Cutler West drafts each vessel as a meticulous technical blueprint, tracing hull and superstructure in clean line work. It is maritime engineering presented as draftsmanship, a considered piece for an office, study, or anyone drawn to ships and the sea.
