FAQ

Rough seas have a way of seasoning a sailor.

The Salty AF Navy Warship T-Shirt is for the Navy veterans and seasoned sailors who earned their salt the hard way. This design features a powerful Navy warship charging bow-first through heavy seas, framed by crashing waves, traditional anchors and rope, with weathered SALTY AF lettering dominating the design. The finishing touch says it all: “Not an Attitude. A Qualification.”

There's a reason the term salty has been associated with experienced sailors for generations. In salty Navy slang, an old salt is someone who's spent enough time aboard ship and at sea to have experience you can't get from a manual. If you've ever wondered about the salty Navy meaning, think deployments, watches, rough seas, long days, dark humor, strong opinions and enough sea stories to keep a bar occupied all night.

Unlike our traditional sailing-ship Salty AF design, this version puts the emphasis on the modern Navy sailor, with the imposing bow of a warship breaking through the waves. The distressed lettering and old-school nautical elements give it a rugged veteran look without turning it into another generic military shirt.

It's a great Navy veteran gift for a retired sailor, old salt, Chief, Navy dad, Navy grandpa, former shipmate, career sailor or anyone who spent enough time underway to proudly call themselves Salty AF. Wear it to ship reunions, Navy gatherings, Veterans Day events, the local watering hole, or anywhere sea stories are likely to get progressively better as the night goes on.

SALTY AF — because some qualifications aren't written on your service record.
