USS Wasp (CVS-18) 1965 CARIBBEAN/W. ATLANTIC Unisex Sweatshirt

USS Wasp (CVS-18) 1965 Caribbean/West Atlantic Deployment Sweatshirt USS Wasp (CVS-18) deployed to the Caribbean and Western Atlantic in 1965, continuing her Cold War antisubmarine warfare mission in waters close to home. That same year, Wasp served as the prime recovery ship for both the Gemini 6A and Gemini 7 space missions, retrieving the astronauts in the Atlantic after splashdown — a proud dual mission for the ship and her crew. This unisex crew-neck sweatshirt commemorates the 1965 Caribbean and Western Atlantic deployment of USS Wasp (CVS-18). Made with a soft, mid-weight fleece blend. A tribute to the crew who served aboard a ship that supported both the Cold War and the Space Race in the same year.
