USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) 2009 Cruise 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 with distinction across the Atlantic Fleet for over three decades. This product commemorates her 2009 cruise, during which Leyte Gulf conducted Atlantic Fleet operations and continued her role as a cornerstone of carrier strike group air defense. Wear it with pride to honor the officers and crew who served aboard CG-55 that year.
