USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) 2009 Cruise Sweatshirt

In 2009, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) deployed to the Persian Gulf as the United States executed a new strategy in Afghanistan. With the Obama administration ordering a surge of forces to reverse Taliban gains, carrier-based aviation played a critical supporting role. Ike's air wing flew missions in support of troops on the ground while the strike group maintained continuous presence in the Gulf — a visible reminder to all adversaries that American sea power remained undiminished and fully committed.
