USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) 1965-66 Combat 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 first Vietnam combat deployment in 1965-66, operating from Yankee Station in the South China Sea. Enterprise's air wing flew strikes into North Vietnam during this historic cruise, with port visits to the Philippines and Hong Kong.

Will my graphic last? Built to stay put. Your design is applied with heat-transfer film technology — the same category of application the pros trust for names and numbers on professional and college sports jerseys. Bonded under heat and pressure, it holds up to real wear, real weather, and repeated washing without cracking or peeling when cared for properly. Turn the jacket inside out, wash cold, and hang or tumble dry low, and your graphic keeps looking sharp for the long haul.
