Commissioned in 1945 and modernized into one of the most capable attack carriers in the fleet, USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) earned a distinguished record across decades of Cold War service. The 1973-74 MED CRUISE spanned one of the most turbulent moments of the Cold War — the Yom Kippur War brought the Middle East to the edge of broader conflict in October 1973, and the oil embargo that followed reshaped the global order. Roosevelt remained forward-deployed, a visible reminder of American resolve in a region under acute pressure. This long sleeve t-shirt commemorates the 1973-74 cruise and honors all who served aboard her.
