The USN supported landings in the Pacific campaign and European landings. When the Japanese surrendered, the formal ceremony was held on the battleship Missouri.

During WWII, athletic style t-shirts were available for purchase at the PX and were commonly used in training and athletic situations. PT shirts with a variety of different unit logos are well documented in many WWII photographs.
