USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) 2013 Cruise Sweatshirt

In 2013, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) deployed to the Mediterranean as the Syrian civil war threatened to draw in American military force. When the Assad regime used chemical weapons against civilians, the United States and its allies prepared for potential strikes — and Ike stood ready in the Eastern Mediterranean. Though diplomacy ultimately prevailed, the deployment underscored the enduring importance of American sea-based power: the ability to project force, deter aggression, and hold the line without firing a shot.
