USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) was one of the storied Midway-class carriers that projected American power through the early Cold War decades. Commissioned in April 1945 and named for the thirty-second President who guided the nation through the Depression and World War II, she patrolled the Mediterranean as an attack carrier (CVA) with the quiet authority that kept the peace during the most tense years of superpower rivalry. The 1960 cruise placed Roosevelt in the Med at a defining moment — as the Cold War hardened and America's commitment to its NATO allies demanded a visible, formidable presence. This shirt commemorates the 1960 cruise and honors all who served aboard her.
