USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) 2008-09 Cruise Sweatshirt

USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) is a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier commissioned on 25 October 1986 and known as "The Big Stick." This sweatshirt commemorates her 2008-09 cruise to the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean, during which CVN-71 and her embarked air wing conducted operations in support of U.S. and coalition forces across the Central Command theater. A valued keepsake for the crew and air wing veterans of that deployment.
