USS Nimitz (CVN-68) Ship's Crest Throw Blanket

USS Nimitz (CVN-68), the lead ship of the most successful carrier class in naval history, was commissioned on May 3, 1975 and has served for over four decades across the Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Persian Gulf. Named for Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander of the Pacific Fleet in World War II, CVN-68 is the embodiment of American sea power — and the namesake of every nuclear carrier that followed her.
