USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) 1968-69 Long Sleeve Cruise Shirt

The 1968–69 cruise came amid a pivotal shift in the war — President Johnson's bombing halt in November 1968 ended Operation Rolling Thunder, but USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) remained on station in the Gulf of Tonkin, ready to respond. Operating from Yankee Station through a period of deep political uncertainty, her crew kept the ship ready, maintained the watch, and proved that carrier presence itself is a form of commitment.
