HC-11 "Gunbearers" Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the legacy of Helicopter Combat Support Squadron 11 (HC-11), the U.S. Navy's "Gunbearers." The design prominently features elements that represent the squadron's critical role in supporting naval operations.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central image is a stylized representation of the squadron's iconic Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King helicopter, a symbol of HC-11's versatility in search and rescue, vertical replenishment, and logistical support. The silhouette evokes a sense of flight, action, and mission readiness.

The squadron's nickname, "Gunbearers," is boldly displayed, signifying their role in providing essential support to the fleet and the implied responsibility carried. The text is often rendered in a classic, military-inspired font, enhancing the feeling of history and tradition.

Often, the design incorporates the HC-11 squadron insignia or crest. The crest, with its unique imagery, further personalizes the design and represents the squadron's spirit and mission. Color palettes frequently utilize the classic navy colors of blue, gold, and white to pay homage to the U.S. Navy.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design as a whole is a tribute to the dedication and service of the men and women of HC-11. It's a reminder of their role in supporting carrier strike groups, conducting vital search and rescue operations, and ensuring the smooth operation of the fleet. The helicopter image symbolizes the squadron's ability to operate in demanding conditions, whether transporting supplies, rescuing personnel, or providing medical evacuation.

By showcasing the squadron's name, nickname, and imagery, the design offers a visual representation of the Gunbearers’ proud history and enduring legacy.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
