USS Constellation (CV-64) 1994-95 Cruise Sweatshirt

Five years after Desert Storm and with no-fly zones still enforced over Iraq, USS Constellation (CV-64) deployed in 1994 into a world learning to navigate the post-Cold War era. "Connie's" air wing flew Operation Southern Watch missions, keeping Saddam Hussein's military grounded and in check. When tensions flared in the Taiwan Strait in early 1995, U.S. carrier deployments — Constellation among them — sent an unmistakable message about American commitments in the Pacific. The crew of this cruise upheld the Navy's forward-presence mission with the skill and professionalism that had defined "Connie" for more than three decades.
