I made 2 cruise's during my time. Kitty Hawk in 86 around the world,and a Nimitz west pac in88. When you cross the equator, there is a celebration to initiate the first timers, or wogs as they are referred to. The guys who have gone before,or shellbacks, put on the event and it lasts all day.
This video looks as though it may have been produced for an event like wog day.
If you could see the pictures I have it would make some that video look tame by comparison.
It never entered my mind to publish photos to try and disgrace people.
In my mind the real problem is the person who released this stuff to the media,and the politicians for insisting the Navy do some thing about it.
A non story, taken out of context. And for another generation of Sailors,a tradition lost.
Sad
