USS Milius (DDG-69) 1998 MAIDEN DEPLOYMENT Unisex Sweatshirt

USS Milius (DDG-69) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer commissioned in August 1996 and named for Vice Admiral Paul L. Milius, who served with distinction during World War II. Her maiden deployment in 1998 took the ship to the Western Pacific, establishing her operational readiness and integrating with forward-deployed forces. Homeported in San Diego, California, Milius has since deployed multiple times to the Western Pacific and participated in numerous multinational exercises and real-world operations. This sweatshirt commemorates that maiden deployment and is made from a comfortable cotton-polyester blend fleece.
