USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) 1996 Cruise Sweatshirt

USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) deployed in 1996 as tensions in the Pacific reached a post-Cold War peak. In March 1996, China conducted ballistic missile tests near Taiwan as the island held its first direct presidential election. The United States surged carrier battle groups to the region, sending an unmistakable message of resolve. Carl Vinson's sailors were part of the American naval presence that helped safeguard democracy and deter aggression at a defining moment in Pacific history.
