USS Hornet (CVS-12) 1963-64 WESTPAC Sweatshirt

In 1963-64, USS Hornet (CVS-12) returned to the Western Pacific for another demanding deployment, patrolling waters that were growing increasingly complicated as American involvement in Southeast Asia deepened. Hornet's crew operated with precision and dedication, carrying out their anti-submarine mission with the professionalism the ship had always demanded.

This sweatshirt commemorates the 1963-64 WESTPAC deployment of USS Hornet (CVS-12) — a fitting tribute to the men who served aboard one of the Navy's most legendary ships on the eve of the Vietnam era.
