USS John L. Canley (ESB-6) — Named for a Hero. Built for the Mission.

Sergeant Major John L. Canley didn’t seek recognition — he sought to protect his Marines. During the Battle of Huế in 1968, he repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire to carry wounded men to safety, leading his company through some of the most brutal urban combat of the Vietnam War. Fifty years later, he received the Medal of Honor — the nation’s highest military decoration. The USS John L. Canley (ESB-6) carries his name with honor, serving as an Expeditionary Sea Base — a versatile, forward-deployed platform that supports special operations, mine countermeasures, and theater security cooperation across the globe. This premium classic tee is a tribute to the man, the ship, and the warrior spirit they both embody.
