USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) 2002-03 FP Cruise Jacket - Shellback

Among the many milestones of USS Abraham Lincoln's historic 2002-03 deployment was the equator crossing that minted a new class of Shellbacks in the ancient tradition of the sea. Amid two combat operations and sixteen months underway, there was still time for the Navy's oldest ritual. The Shellback variant of this cruise jacket honors that crossing — and the sailors who earned it the hard way.
