USS Independence (CV-62) Persian Gulf Yacht Club Shirt

The Persian Gulf Yacht Club honors the Sailors who deployed to the Persian Gulf — a tradition that captures the spirit of naval service in one of the world's most strategically critical waterways. USS Independence (CV-62) earned her place in the Persian Gulf Yacht Club during Operation Desert Shield in 1990, when she was among the first carriers to surge into theater following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. This special-edition design commemorates that historic deployment and the Sailors who answered the call.
