USS America (CVA-66) 1968 World Cruise Varsity Jacket

Honor the crew of USS America (CVA-66) who served during her 1968 World Cruise — her first combat deployment to the Tonkin Gulf during the Vietnam War. This heavyweight varsity jacket features the official cruise design with port visits to Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and the Philippines.

America's global circumnavigation in 1968 marked her entry into Vietnam combat operations, a defining chapter in her 31-year history.

Will my graphic last? Built to stay put. Your design is applied with heat-transfer film technology — the same category of application the pros trust for names and numbers on professional and college sports jerseys. Bonded under heat and pressure, it holds up to real wear, real weather, and repeated washing without cracking or peeling when cared for properly. Turn the jacket inside out, wash cold, and hang or tumble dry low, and your graphic keeps looking sharp for the long haul.
