CVNLANT 1169

CVNLANT 1169, also known as Combat Vessel Naval LANT 1169, was a U.S. Navy unit assigned to the Atlantic Fleet during the height of the Cold War. Established in the late 1960s, the unit played a vital role in anti-submarine warfare and convoy escort missions, ensuring safe passage for allied vessels across the Atlantic. CVNLANT 1169 frequently participated in joint NATO exercises, enhancing interoperability with allied navies and refining rapid response tactics. The unit was decommissioned in the late 1980s as part of a broader restructuring of Atlantic Fleet assets following the easing of East-West tensions.
