USS America (CVA/CV-66) Embroidered Champion Packable Jacket - Ship's Crest

From her commissioning in January 1965 as USS America (CVA-66) through her final deployment and decommissioning in August 1996 as CV-66, she served America for 31 years. Combat deployments to Vietnam. Cold War deterrence patrols. Presence operations from the Mediterranean to the Pacific. The ship's crest on this embroidered Champion packable jacket represents her complete legacy — not just one cruise or one war, but a full lifetime of Navy service. Lightweight enough to carry, meaningful enough to last.
