USS Enterprise (CVN-65) 1986 Cruise Sweatshirt

By 1986, Reagan's defense buildup had restored the Navy's edge, and USS Enterprise embodied that renewed strength. CVN-65's 1986 cruise kept her forward-deployed in waters where the Soviet Navy and regional adversaries needed to understand one thing: the United States was present, capable, and prepared to act. Carrier Air Wing Eleven's aviators flew with the precision of a seasoned fighting force, and every day at sea reinforced the deterrent message that had kept the peace since the Cold War began. Some things in the 1980s were uncertain — what Enterprise would do if called upon was not one of them.
