USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) 1964 World Cruise Varsity Jacket

USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, commissioned in 1961. Known as the Big E, she served for over 51 years before her decommissioning in 2017.

This heavyweight letterman jacket commemorates Enterprise's historic 1964 around-the-world cruise — Operation Sea Orbit — alongside the nuclear cruisers USS Long Beach and USS Bainbridge. This landmark voyage proved the endurance of nuclear propulsion, with stops in France, Italy, Brazil, Pakistan, Australia, and Spain.
