The USS Thomas S. Gates (CG-51) was a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser that famously deployed to the Mediterranean to serve with the U.S. Sixth Fleet starting in 1989.
Custom embroidered "cruise jackets" or tour jackets were traditionally commissioned by sailors to commemorate these deployments.
If you are searching for an authentic, original-issue 1980s or 1990s wool deployment jacket with the specific regional Mediterranean / 6th Fleet patchwork, these are highly collectible secondary-market items.
In Overall Excellent Vintage Condition. Worn Only a Handful of Times.
Mens Size Large (23" Across the Chest)
