"41 for Freedom" refers to the 41 nuclear- powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) commissioned by the U.S. Navy between 1959 and 1967. These submarines formed a crucial part of the nation's Strategic Triad and served as the primary nuclear deterrent force until the late 1980s.

Artist Timothy D. Thomas, a former crew member of one of these "boomers" in the Atlantic, has created 41 original, hand-drawn artworks depicting a U.S. Navy submarine on deterrent patrol in the open ocean. Each piece is individually signed and numbered.
