A premium flight-deck-style cruise jacket commemorating the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) 1980-81 deployment to the Mediterranean.

What does 'FP Cruise Jacket' mean?

FP stands for the First-Phase production run of our heavyweight cruise jacket line. These jackets replicate the style worn by sailors on cruise — a step up from a standard tee in quality and collectibility.

Heavyweight polyester shell with a warm lining — windproof, water-resistant, and made to last. Built to the same durability standard as original military-issued flight jackets.

What sizes are available?

S through 3XL. Sizing runs slightly trim — we recommend sizing up one if between sizes. Full size chart on the product page.

Who is this jacket made for?

Veterans who deployed aboard USS John F. Kennedy during 1980-81, collectors of military cruise memorabilia, and family members who want to honor a sailor's service in a premium keepsake.

Is this an official Navy product?

Independently produced commemorative outerwear — not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Navy or Department of Defense.

Product description

USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) deployed on her 1980-81 cruise against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent periods in modern American history — the ongoing Iranian hostage crisis, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and a nation rediscovering its military purpose. Operating in the Mediterranean, Big John and her battle group represented the Atlantic Fleet's forward commitment as the Navy began rebuilding toward the Reagan-era 600-ship fleet.
