In 1983-84, USS Independence (CV-62) deployed to the Mediterranean as the United States reeled from the devastating bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut. Independence's air wing flew combat missions over Lebanon in retaliation for the attacks, placing her crew on the front lines of Reagan-era power projection during one of the defining crises of 1980s American foreign policy.
