USS Seattle (AOE-3) 1990-91 Cruise Sweatshirt

USS Seattle (AOE-3) conducted her 1990-91 deployment as the United States mobilized for Operation Desert Shield and then Operation Desert Storm. The Sacramento-class fast combat support ship played a vital role in sustaining the massive naval buildup in the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters, providing underway replenishment of fuel, ammunition, and stores to carrier battle groups and surface combatants. This sweatshirt commemorates that historic cruise and the crew who supported the liberation of Kuwait.
