USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) 1999 Deployment Sweatshirt

USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser commissioned on September 26, 1987, and homeported in Norfolk, Virginia. Named in honor of the Battle of Leyte Gulf — the largest naval battle in history — she has defended carrier strike groups across the Atlantic and Mediterranean throughout her service. This product commemorates her 1999 deployment, during which Leyte Gulf deployed in support of NATO operations in the Adriatic Sea and Mediterranean, including missions tied to Operation Allied Force over Kosovo. Wear it with pride to honor the officers and crew who served aboard CG-55 during that deployment.
