The 1984-85 cruise took USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) into the Pacific during a pivotal moment in Cold War history. Reagan's massive military buildup had restored American confidence, and a new Soviet leader was beginning to reckon with the costs of the arms race. Carl Vinson's crew — the aviators, the engineers, the combat systems technicians — were the embodiment of American strength and readiness. Every day at sea was a demonstration of what the United States could bring to bear. This shirt honors the sailors of the 1984-85 cruise.
