“It’s an honor for me to represent the Chargers and present these small tokens of our support to the ship that carries our City’s name,” said Spanos. “I hope this jersey and flag will serve as constant reminders that the Chargers and San Diego are always with them in spirit.”
The USS San Diego is the fourth Navy warship named after San Diego, though it’s the first to be home-ported. The 678-foot vessel is largely a Marine transport, capable of carrying up to 800 Marines and a naval crew of 360. It also can carry tanks and helicopters, and its distinctive look, featuring twin masts hidden in gray cones, is meant to reduce its radar signature.
