USS Barry (DDG-52) 1994 MAIDEN DEPLOYMENT Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Every warship has a first deployment—the cruise that proves the ship and her crew. For USS Barry (DDG-52), that was 1994, when this brand-new Arleigh Burke-class destroyer headed out for her maiden deployment. The post-Cold War world was anything but quiet, and Barry's crew stepped up—operating with NATO partners in the Mediterranean, maintaining the Sixth Fleet's presence in a changing Europe, and bringing home the experience that would define the ship's fighting culture for years to come.
