USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) 2006 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 air defense warships. This product commemorates her 2006 deployment, during which Leyte Gulf deployed in support of carrier strike group operations in the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf, conducting maritime security and theater missile defense missions. Wear it with pride to honor the officers and crew who served aboard CG-55 that year.
