FAQ

What does the AOR-3 designation mean on this shirt?: AOR-3 identifies the specific hull classification symbol for a fast combat support ship designed as a replenishment oiler. These vessels were built to refuel other ships at sea while underway. The number three indicates the third ship in this specific series of the Kansas City-class. Seeing this code confirms the wearer served on or supported this exact type of logistical platform.
Who specifically gets the reference to this design?: This design targets veterans who served aboard the USS Kansas City or similar AOR-class ships. It also appeals to naval logistics personnel, fuelmen, and supply corps members who handled underway replenishment. Anyone who worked in the aviation or engineering spaces of these support vessels will understand the significance of the anchor and hull number combination shown on the front.
How should I style this shirt for a reunion event?: For a reunion, pair the Classic T-Shirt or Hoodie with dark denim or khakis to keep the focus on the graphic.
