USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) 1990-91 Deployment Sweatshirt

USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser commissioned on September 26, 1987, and homeported in Norfolk, Virginia. Named in honor of the Battle of Leyte Gulf — the largest naval battle in history — she has served as one of the Atlantic Fleet's most capable warships for over three decades. This product commemorates her 1990-91 deployment, during which Leyte Gulf deployed to the Persian Gulf in support of Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, providing critical air defense and strike coordination during the liberation of Kuwait. Wear it with pride to honor the officers and crew who served aboard CG-55 during that historic deployment.
