USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) deployed on her 2015-16 cruise, continuing a proud tradition of amphibious operations as a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship. Kearsarge and her embarked Marine Expeditionary Unit conducted sustained operations across the Atlantic and Mediterranean, providing the flexible and rapid response capability that defines the Navy-Marine Corps team. Her crew and embarked Marines stood ready to respond to crises ranging from combat operations to humanitarian assistance. This sweatshirt commemorates LHD-3's 2015-16 deployment and the dedicated service of all who sailed aboard her.
