  I crossed the line on 19 June 1967, 00 lat. 40 long. while on a west pac cruise aborad the USS FORRESTAL. The night before we crossed, the polywags revolted and captured the few shellbacks that were on the ship. We locked them up, but had to turn them lose.
  We greatly out numbered them but caught hell the next day.
  Do they still do this or is not P.C correct. Hell even the capt. cawrled through the slop chute and kissed the babys belly.
