USS Saratoga (CVA-60) 1958 Cruise Varsity Jacket

USS Saratoga (CVA-60) was the second Forrestal-class supercarrier, commissioned in 1956 and named for the Revolutionary War Battle of Saratoga. An Atlantic Fleet carrier, she deployed repeatedly to the Mediterranean with the Sixth Fleet through the Cold War. Saratoga served until her decommissioning in 1994.

This heavyweight letterman jacket commemorates Saratoga's 1958 Mediterranean deployment — one of her earliest Cold War cruises, during a tense period that included the Lebanon crisis.
