American pilots called it the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot. In two days of combat, Japanese carrier aircraft attacked the American task force in three separate waves and lost approximately 350 aircraft against fewer than 30 American losses. Three Japanese carriers were also sunk. Japan's ability to mount carrier aviation offensively never recovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name on Philippine Sea's bow represented the moment American carrier aviation established a permanent superiority it never relinquished. Putting that name on an Aegis cruiser ,  the ship whose primary mission was to protect the carriers that had inherited that legacy ,  was historically intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilippine Sea became one of the most operationally active Ticonderoga-class ships in the fleet. She fired Tomahawk cruise missiles in Operation Desert Fox against Iraq in 1998, in Operation Allied Force against Yugoslav targets in 1999, and in the opening strikes of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Multiple conflicts, multiple Tomahawk engagements, sustained combat relevance across more than a decade of American military operations in the Middle East and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe remained active into the 2010s and 2020s, one of the longer-serving hulls in the class and among the most combat-tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTactically Acquired's USS Philippine Sea (CG-58) collection honors the battle that broke Japanese carrier aviation and the crew that carried that name into three separate wars.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"uss-philippine-sea-cg-58-ships-crest-logo-t-shirt","title":"USS Philippine Sea (CG-58) Ship's Crest Logo T-Shirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eDemonstrate your admiration and allegiance for this iconic U.S. Navy Cruiser with our USS Philippine Sea (CG-58) Ship's Crest Logo T-Shirt.
