There are deployments you talk about for the rest of your life — and the 2011-12 Mediterranean cruise was one of them. The Arab Spring reshaped every shore of the Mediterranean. Libya erupted in civil war, coalition forces launched Operation Odyssey Dawn, and USS Cape St. George (CG-71) stood ready as history broke around them. Osama bin Laden's death in May 2011 brought a moment of national catharsis even at sea. The crew of the 2011-12 MED saw more history in one cruise than most sailors see in a career. This sweatshirt is their tribute.
