OWN A PIECE OF YOUR HISTORY

The USS Oscar Austin is named for Private First Class Oscar P. Austin, USMC good, a recipient of the Medal of Honor, whose mother, Mildred Austin, was the matron of honor at the commissioning.

In 2010 the Oscar Austin located and provided assistance to two Iranian mariners who were spotted floating in a life raft in the Arabian Gulf, approximately 1,000 yards outside of Iranian territorial waters. The destroyer remained on scene until the mariners were picked up by an Iranian Coast Guard search and rescue vessel.

Adam Koltz is a marine artist and 20 year Navy veteran aboard several classes of ships, including merchant vessels. Adam's attention to detail stems from his intimate knowledge of ships and his passion for accuracy. His understanding of the interaction of ships with the natural forces of wind and water gives his pictures life and vitality. Adam uses pen and ink, as well as watercolor, and depicts the ship or boat on a chart with historical or current significance.

His prints make special gifts for Departing COs, Promotions, Retirements, Spouses and Special Friends.


Comments from some of Adam's customers:

"My husband was absolutely thrilled with the fantastic drawing of his
former ship. It is without question the best present I've ever given to him."

"I speak for everyone in the wardroom when I say thank you for your extreme efforts."

"I'm flabbergasted!"

"The ship portrait is beautiful."

"...Everyone who sees your art is amazed with your work."
