USS Constellation (CV-64) 1980 Cruise Varsity Jacket - Indian Ocean Centurion Edition

USS Constellation was the second Kitty Hawk-class supercarrier, commissioned in 1961 and known as America's Flagship. Homeported on the West Coast, she spent much of the 1960s and early 1970s making Western Pacific combat deployments during the Vietnam War. She was redesignated CV-64 in 1975 and served until her decommissioning in 2003.

This heavyweight letterman jacket commemorates Constellation's 1980 Western Pacific and Indian Ocean deployment — the marathon Gonzo Station watch in the North Arabian Sea during the Iran hostage crisis. This edition carries the ship's "Indian Ocean Centurion / 110 Days Underway — The Price of Freedom" commemorative emblem. Port calls included the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Hawaii.

Will my graphic last? Built to stay put. Your design is applied with heat-transfer film technology — the same category of application the pros trust for names and numbers on professional and college sports jerseys. Bonded under heat and pressure, it holds up to real wear, real weather, and repeated washing without cracking or peeling when cared for properly. Turn the jacket inside out, wash cold, and hang or tumble dry low, and your graphic keeps looking sharp for the long haul.
