In 1982, USS Independence (CV-62) deployed to the Mediterranean as Lebanon descended into conflict and Israeli forces invaded. Operating in this volatile theater, Independence and her battle group maintained the U.S. presence that served as a stabilizing force during one of the most dangerous periods in recent Middle Eastern history, with her air wing ready to respond to rapidly escalating events.
