USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) 1983 Cruise Shirt

USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) was still in her first full year of operational service when the 1983 cruise took her into the Pacific during one of the Cold War's most dangerous moments. Named for the legendary Georgia congressman who championed American naval power for five decades, Carl Vinson was herself a symbol of American strength — a nuclear carrier with 5,000 sailors and dozens of aircraft. In a year marked by the Beirut bombing, the Grenada invasion, and frightening Cold War brinkmanship, Carl Vinson's crew were America's watchful presence in the Pacific. This shirt honors them.
