Every sailor who crosses the equator earns the right to call himself a Shellback — a rite of passage as old as deep-water sailing itself. On the 1982-83 cruise, USS Enterprise's crew joined that ancient fraternity in the same waters where CVN-65 had sailed since her commissioning in 1961. The Reagan era was rebuilding American naval power, and the Big E was at the center of it. This jacket marks both a sailor's personal milestone and a moment in the ship's history when American sea power found its footing again.
