USS Normandy (CG-60) 1990-91 Maiden Deployment Unisex Sweatshirt

USS Normandy (CG-60) was commissioned on December 9, 1989, at Tampa, Florida, named for the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. Her maiden deployment in 1990-91 took her directly into combat: she deployed to the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, providing Aegis air defense coverage for coalition forces during the liberation of Kuwait. Commissioning to combat in under a year — that's a Normandy maiden cruise.
