USS Seattle (AOE-3) 1976 Cruise Sweatshirt

USS Seattle (AOE-3) was a Sacramento-class fast combat support ship that served as a vital logistics lifeline for the Atlantic Fleet. During her 1976 deployment, Seattle operated with carrier battle groups in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, providing underway replenishment of fuel, ammunition, and stores. Her ability to replenish multiple ship types simultaneously made her one of the most capable logistics platforms in the fleet. This sweatshirt commemorates that cruise and the crew who kept the fleet at sea.
