USS Nassau (LHA-4) 1989 Cruise Sweatshirt

USS Nassau (LHA-4) is a Tarawa-class amphibious assault ship commissioned on July 28, 1979 and homeported at Norfolk. During her 1989 cruise, Nassau deployed to the Mediterranean as part of an amphibious ready group, conducting exercises with NATO allies and maintaining the forward presence that supports U.S. alliances. This sweatshirt commemorates the Marines and sailors who served aboard during that deployment.
