USS America (CVA-66) 1971 Cruise Shirt - FAMILY

In 1971, South Vietnam launched its biggest offensive in years, pushing into Laos — and USS America (CVA-66) deployed to support it with carrier airpower from the Gulf of Tonkin. Another cruise. Another season of waiting by the mailbox, watching the news for any mention of carriers in the Tonkin Gulf, and keeping life together until your sailor came home. Vietnamization was supposed to be the beginning of the end — but for the families of CVA-66, it was another deployment like all the rest. This cruise shirt honors your patience, your pride, and your love.
