During the 2003 WESTPAC deployment commemorated by this sweatshirt, Princeton operated in the Western Pacific and Persian Gulf in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, providing Aegis air defense and contributing to coalition operations as U.S. and allied forces conducted combat operations in Iraq. This sweatshirt honors the crew who served during that combat deployment.
