USS Princeton (CG-59) 2010 WESTPAC Sweatshirt

USS Princeton (CG-59) is a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser homeported in San Diego, California. Commissioned on February 11, 1989, Princeton is named for the Battle of Princeton fought during the American Revolution in January 1777. This sweatshirt commemorates her 2010 Western Pacific deployment, during which Princeton served as part of the U.S. 7th Fleet conducting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation throughout the Indo-Pacific region. Princeton is renowned for surviving a double mine strike in the Persian Gulf on February 18, 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, a testament to the resilience of her crew and the durability of her design.
