USS Midway (CVA-41) 1971 Cruise Sweatshirt

USS Midway (CVA-41) deployed to the Western Pacific in 1971 as the Vietnam War continued. Midway and her air wing conducted operations in support of American and South Vietnamese forces, maintaining a continuous carrier presence in the Gulf of Tonkin during a period when the Nixon administration was pursuing Vietnamization while still conducting significant air operations. This sweatshirt commemorates that Vietnam-era deployment.
