USS Vella Gulf (CG-72) 2008-09 MED Unisex Sweatshirt

Commemorate the 2008–09 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 draws her name from the World War II Battle of Vella Gulf, a notable night torpedo action in the Solomon Islands in August 1943. During her 2008–09 MED deployment, Vella Gulf served with the Sixth Fleet, maintaining forward presence and conducting theater security cooperation in the Mediterranean region. This sweatshirt honors the crew's service during that deployment.
