USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) Khomieni Caper Control Corps '79-'80 Vinyl Sticker

<p>The "Khomeini Caper Control Corps" was the tongue-in-cheek name her crew gave to USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) during the 1979–80 Western Pacific and Indian Ocean deployment — a wry nod to the Iranian hostage crisis that kept the ship on station during one of the most tense chapters of the Cold War. As the Navy scrambled to maintain presence in the Persian Gulf region, Kitty Hawk and her air wing stood ready, far from home, projecting American resolve. This vinyl sticker captures the dark humor and esprit de corps of the crew who were there.</p>
