USS Lake Champlain (CG-57) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser commissioned on August 12, 1988, and homeported in San Diego, California. Named in honor of the Battle of Lake Champlain, a decisive American naval victory during the War of 1812, she serves as a cornerstone of carrier strike group air defense and strike coordination. This product commemorates her 1997-98 deployment, during which Lake Champlain deployed to the Western Pacific and Arabian Gulf in support of maritime security operations and theater ballistic missile defense. Wear this piece with pride to honor the officers and crew who served aboard CG-57 during that deployment.
