USS Bataan (LHD-5) 2017 Cruise Sweatshirt

In 2017, USS Bataan (LHD-5) deployed to the Mediterranean with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, operating in a region where American presence still made the difference between order and stability. The Bataan Amphibious Ready Group conducted exercises with NATO partners, trained alongside allied forces, and maintained a ready-to-respond posture as the world's flashpoints demanded American attention. Every Sailor who served aboard carried the name of a peninsula in the Philippines where American and Filipino forces made their last defiant stand in the spring of 1942 — and wore that name with the pride it deserves.
