VMFA 232, also known as the Shooters, is a Marine Fighter Attack Squadron within the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The squadron, based at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California, falls under the command of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The primary role of VMFA 232 is to deliver airpower projection capabilities in support of Marine Air Ground Task Forces. They operate the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft, which are multi-role combat jets capable of conducting both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. The Shooters have a rich history dating back to World War II when they were initially formed as VMF-232. They have seen action in numerous conflicts, including the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan. Their significant achievements have earned them numerous awards and recognitions over the years. The Squadron's emblem features a leopard, symbolizing aggressiveness, stealth, and speed, while the colors green and white represent the USMC and its aviation branch respectively. The motto "Fidelis Ad Mortem" means "Faithful Unto Death," reflecting the squadron's commitment to duty and camaraderie. VMFA 232 continues to serve as a vital component of the USMC, demonstrating professionalism, courage, and skill in their mission to protect and defend the United States and its interests worldwide.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
