This is a rare early 1960s painted resin plaque from Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (Portsmouth, New Hampshire/Kittery, Maine) for the USS Abraham Lincoln SSN-602. The Abraham Lincoln was launched May 14, 1960 and after testing in the United States, transferred to Holy Loch, Scotland. She stayed in Scotland for four years except for a brief time when the Cuban Missile Crisis erupted in October 1962.
