USS Seattle (AOE-3) 1984 Cruise Hoodie

USS Seattle (AOE-3) deployed in 1984 in support of Sixth Fleet operations in the Mediterranean during a period of heightened regional tensions. As a Sacramento-class fast combat support ship, Seattle provided the underway replenishment that kept carrier battle groups operating continuously at sea. Her crew worked demanding watch schedules to ensure the ships they served never ran short of fuel, ammunition, or vital stores. This hoodie commemorates that deployment.
