Unisex Heavy Blend™ Crewneck Sweatshirt - Navy - Rate - Aviation Electrical Technician (AST)

USS John S. McCain — Aviation Electrical Technician (AST) Crewneck Sweatshirt

Some garments are just clothing. This one is a statement of service. The USS John S. McCain AST Crewneck Sweatshirt carries the ship's crest in bold embroidery — a badge worn with quiet pride by those who know what it means to stand watch at sea.

Built from an 8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²) 50/50 cotton-poly blend, this midweight crewneck delivers the warmth of a classic sweatshirt with the durability to match the rate. The tubular knit body holds its shape wash after wash, while the ribbed collar and double-needle stitching keep everything crisp — just like the uniform.
