USS Lake Erie (CG-70) 2014 Cruise Sweatshirt

USS Lake Erie (CG-70) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser commissioned on July 24, 1993, and homeported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. She is named in honor of the Battle of Lake Erie, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's decisive victory over the British during the War of 1812. Lake Erie is renowned as the Navy's premier ballistic missile defense platform, having successfully intercepted a decaying spy satellite in Operation Burnt Frost in 2008. This product commemorates her 2014 cruise, during which Lake Erie continued her vital role in Pacific Fleet operations and theater missile defense. Wear it with pride to honor the officers and crew who served aboard CG-70 that year.
