FAQ

Some sailors serve. Some sailors become salty.

The Salty AF Navy Ship T-Shirt is made for the sailors and Navy veterans who earned their salt one deployment, watch, underway, and sea story at a time. Featuring a dramatic old-school sailing ship battling through rough seas, surrounded by anchors, rope, an American flag, and bold distressed SALTY AF lettering, this design brings traditional maritime artwork together with unmistakable Navy attitude.

Across the bottom is the line that sums it all up: “Not an Attitude. A Qualification.” Because in the Navy, being salty isn't just about being irritated or sarcastic. The traditional salty Navy meaning refers to a seasoned, experienced sailor who's spent enough time at sea to know the ropes—and probably has a few stories that shouldn't be repeated in polite company. It's classic salty Navy slang with a modern Salty AF twist.

The vintage nautical artwork gives this shirt a completely different look from the typical Navy veteran tee. The weathered lettering, wooden sailing ship, crashing waves, anchors and patriotic details give it the feel of an old maritime tattoo or traditional naval artwork. It's a shirt that looks just as good at the local bar as it does at a ship reunion, Veterans Day event, Navy gathering, or backyard cookout.

It also makes a great Navy veteran gift for an old salt, retired sailor, Navy dad, Navy grandpa, Chief, former shipmate, or anyone who proudly considers himself salty Navy. Whether he served four years or made the Navy a career, if he's earned the title of old salt, this one's for him.

SALTY AF — Not an Attitude. A Qualification.
