USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) 1962-63 Long Sleeve Cruise Shirt

USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) was one of the storied Midway-class carriers that shaped American naval power through three decades of Cold War service. Commissioned in April 1945 and named for the thirty-second President who guided the nation through the Depression and World War II, she served as an attack carrier in the Mediterranean — a steady, powerful presence during the most consequential years of the Cold War. The 1962-63 MED CRUISE spanned the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 — thirteen days that brought the world to the edge of nuclear war. Roosevelt stood watch in the Mediterranean as the nation held its breath, a symbol of American power and deterrence at the Cold War's most critical moment. This long sleeve shirt commemorates the 1962-63 cruise and honors all who served aboard her.
