Sailors aboard USS Saratoga celebrate their first crossing of the Equator with a traditional Shellback ceremony in January 1929. The lighthearted naval rite, marking the transition from “Pollywog” to “Shellback,” has bonded generations of sailors across the seven seas. #USSSaratoga #USNavy #Shellback #EquatorCrossing #NavalTradition | The Reliable Narrator

Crossing the Equator Pollywog to Shellback -a shipwide celebration happens each time the ship crosses. This was my first time to cross from a ship. We were to kiss the fish and jump in the water but I have a fever so opted to kiss the fish tail and not jump in the water🧜🏻‍♀️. They baptized me with sea water over the head🤣 | Kelly Smith
