CV-62 deployed to virtually every theater during her nearly four decades of service, from the Vietnam War and the 1983 Lebanon crisis to Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Independence was forward-deployed to Yokosuka, Japan, during the 1990s, serving as America's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier in the Pacific. Her service spanned the entire Cold War and beyond, making her one of the most experienced conventional carriers in naval history.
