USS San Jacinto (CG-56) 1996 Deployment Sweatshirt

USS San Jacinto (CG-56) is a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser commissioned on January 23, 1988, and homeported at Naval Station Mayport, Florida. Named for the 1836 battle that won Texas independence, and having fired the first Tomahawk missiles of Desert Storm in 1991, San Jacinto continued to serve as one of the Navy's most capable surface combatants. This sweatshirt commemorates the Sailors of CG-56 who deployed in 1996, operating in support of fleet and strike group missions across the Mediterranean and Atlantic regions.
