USS America (CVA-66) 1972-73 Cruise Shirt - FAMILY

The 1972-73 cruise was the one families will never forget. North Vietnam's Easter Offensive sent USS America (CVA-66) surging into the Gulf of Tonkin, and the ship stayed there through the most intense air campaign of the war — Linebacker, the Christmas Bombings, the final push that brought peace. Your sailor was gone not for weeks but for what felt like an era, through a deployment that made history. Back home, you managed everything: the worry, the waiting, the kids, the questions. When the Paris Peace Accords were signed in January 1973 and the ship finally came home, you had earned every bit of that homecoming. This shirt is yours.
