USS Independence (CVA-62) 1966-67 Cruise Sweatshirt

In 1966-67, USS Independence (CVA-62) returned to the waters off Vietnam as the war intensified. Operating from Yankee Station, her air wing flew dangerous missions over some of the most heavily defended targets in history — the bridges, rail yards, and supply routes of North Vietnam's industrial heartland. The courage and skill of her aircrews defined a generation of carrier aviation during one of America's most challenging military campaigns.
