USS Intrepid (CVS-11) 1972-73 Long Sleeve Cruise Shirt

In 1972-73, USS Intrepid (CVS-11) deployed in one of her final operational cruises before decommissioning in 1974. The "Fighting I" continued her antisubmarine warfare mission in Atlantic waters, representing the end of an era — a carrier that had served her country through World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War. Every member of her final crews shared in a piece of the most storied career in carrier aviation history.
