USS INDEPENDENCE, CV-62 This is a black wool cruise jacket (Marines call them Tour jackets) from the 1984 - 85 Med Cruise. This version has two button down chest pockets and 2 side slash pockets with regular collar. I couldn't find a size, but I would guess a medium.

Above the right pockets a "ACE of Hearts high" deck of cards; on the R. pocket is Popeye; on the left pocket is ship's wheel compass and the name RICH; above that are crossed American and Italian flags. RICH is embroidered on and the rest are embroidered patches. The back is all embroidered and it does not come through to the lining. In the center t is an eagle with spread wings over an American flag. USS INDEPENDENCE (CV-62) is emblazoned across the shoulders. RICH was apparently from Maryland.
