The 2000 deployment placed USS Cape St. George (CG-71) in the Mediterranean as the Navy was learning painful lessons about the threat environment facing ships in foreign ports. The USS Cole attack on October 12, 2000 shook the fleet — but it did not deter the sailors who continued their missions and kept the battle group ready. This cruise sweatshirt honors the Cape St. George crew who served with dedication through one of the most challenging years in recent naval history.
