USS Vicksburg (CG-69) 2002 MED/IO Unisex Sweatshirt

Commemorate the 2002 Mediterranean and Indian Ocean deployment of USS Vicksburg (CG-69) with this exclusive sweatshirt. A Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser commissioned on November 14, 1992 and homeported in Mayport, Florida, Vicksburg is named for the Siege of Vicksburg (1863) — the pivotal Civil War campaign that gave Union forces control of the Mississippi River. The 2002 MED/IO deployment placed Vicksburg in the critical operational environment of the global war on terror following the September 11 attacks, supporting strike group operations in both the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. This sweatshirt honors the crew who served during that demanding deployment.
