USS Antietam (CG-54) Embroidered Beanie

USS Antietam (CG-54) was commissioned on June 6, 1987 — the 43rd anniversary of D-Day — and named for the bloodiest single day in American history: the Battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862. This Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser has served as one of the Navy's most capable surface combatants, equipped with the Aegis Combat System that can simultaneously track and engage hundreds of targets. Homeported in Yokosuka, Japan as part of the Navy's permanently forward-deployed force, Antietam has stood through the Cold War's final years, multiple Middle East deployments, and the evolving security challenges of the Indo-Pacific. Pull on this embroidered beanie and wear the legacy of a ship that has never stood down.
