USS Intrepid (CVS-11) 1964 MED Short-Sleeve T-Shirt

In 1964, USS Intrepid (CVS-11) deployed to the Mediterranean as part of NATO's antisubmarine warfare mission. Operating in the crucial waters where Soviet submarines routinely challenged Western naval supremacy, Intrepid and her ASW air wing contributed to the alliance's maritime defense — a mission that would continue until just before she gained worldwide fame for recovering the Gemini III astronauts in 1965.
