Speaking of Pirates Who on aboard is a Golden Shellback like me initiated On board the USS Ranger in 1983 as a Marine, Emerald Shellback or Just a Shellback. For those of you who are saying what is a shell back a shell back is a person that has crossed the Equator @ on a Military Vessel Either @ the International Date Line (Golden Shellback the elite of the shellbacks never having to go through the ceremony again), The Greenwich Meridian (Emerald Shellback has to be initiated if crossing @ the international date line) or Just crossing the equator any old place (Shellback has to possibly go through it 2 more times poor Pollywogs) |
