Everything changed on September 11, 2001 — and USS Anzio (CG-68) was at sea when it did. As Operation Enduring Freedom launched on October 7, U.S. naval forces surged toward the North Arabian Sea, and Tomahawk-capable cruisers became among the first weapons to strike back at the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Named for the World War II amphibious operation that punched through a fortified enemy line in Italy, USS Anzio honored her legacy in the skies over Afghanistan — her crew firing precision cruise missiles into the regime that had harbored the men who attacked America. This 2001 cruise sweatshirt marks the deployment that defined a generation: the moment the Navy answered the nation's call with fire.
