USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) — "Ike" — has been a constant presence in the world's most demanding theaters since her commissioning in 1977. Named for Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander of the victorious Allied Expeditionary Force in World War II and 34th President of the United States, she carries a name that demands excellence from every sailor who serves aboard her. From the Cold War to the War on Terror, CVN-69 has answered every call — projecting American power, deterring adversaries, and bringing her crew home.
