USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) 1986-87 Cruise Sweatshirt - Family

While USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) sailed through the most turbulent seas of the Cold War era, families at home held the line. Through the Libya airstrikes, the Iran-Contra revelations, and the tragic attack on USS Stark, loved ones followed the news and waited. The sacrifice of separation is never worn on a uniform — but it is felt just as deeply. This sweatshirt honors the families who kept the home fires burning through the 1986-87 cruise.
