USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) 2002 Long Sleeve Cruise Shirt

USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) — 2002 Mediterranean/Red Sea Deployment. Deploying in the shadow of September 11th, Kennedy's battle group entered waters charged with new urgency. As Operation Enduring Freedom ground on in Afghanistan and international pressure on Iraq intensified, her carrier strike group maintained heightened readiness in the Mediterranean and Red Sea — prepared to respond to an arc of instability stretching from North Africa to Central Asia. The Global War on Terror had transformed the rhythm of naval deployments, and every sailor aboard understood that the mission had changed forever.
