USS Midway (CV-41) served as the U.S. Navy's forward-deployed carrier homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. The 1979-80 cruise came during a turbulent period in world affairs — the Iranian hostage crisis began in November 1979 and the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in December — keeping Midway and her air wing on heightened readiness in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean region. This sweatshirt commemorates that high-tempo deployment.
