USS Vella Gulf (CG-72) 2004 MED Unisex Sweatshirt

Commemorate the 2004 Mediterranean deployment of USS Vella Gulf (CG-72) with this exclusive sweatshirt. A Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser commissioned on September 18, 1993 and homeported in Norfolk, Virginia, Vella Gulf is named for the decisive World War II Battle of Vella Gulf (August 1943). The 2004 MED deployment continued the ship's tradition of forward presence in the Sixth Fleet area of responsibility, supporting NATO operations and theater security cooperation throughout the Mediterranean. This sweatshirt honors the crew who served during that deployment.
