USS Lake Champlain (CG-57) 2001-02 Unisex Sweatshirt

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 answered the call in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. This product commemorates her 2001-02 deployment, during which Lake Champlain deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, providing critical air defense and strike coordination for coalition forces operating in the Arabian Sea. Wear this piece with pride to honor the officers and crew who served aboard CG-57 during that historic deployment.
