USS Oldendorf (DD-972) Ship's Crest Sweatshirt

USS Oldendorf (DD-972) was a Spruance-class destroyer commissioned on March 4, 1978, named for Vice Admiral Jesse B. Oldendorf, who commanded the battleship line at the decisive Battle of Surigao Strait during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944 — the last battleship-versus-battleship action in naval history. Oldendorf served in the U.S. Navy for over two decades, conducting operations across the Pacific and earning her place in the long line of ships bearing this distinguished name.
