USS Paul F. Foster (DD-964) was a Spruance-class destroyer commissioned on July 23, 1977, and named in honor of Vice Admiral Paul F. Foster, a distinguished naval officer.

She later received Tomahawk cruise missile capability as part of the Navy's modernization of the class, significantly expanding her strike reach. Paul F. Foster served across the Pacific Fleet, participating in Cold War deterrence operations, exercises with allied navies, and post-Cold War contingency missions. She was decommissioned on June 9, 2003, after twenty-six years of service. This sweatshirt features the official ship's crest and honors all who served aboard USS Paul F. Foster.
