Summary[edit]

Description
English: Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy (May 21, 2004) - Commanding Officer of Naval Support Activity Naples, Capt. David Frederick, offers his congratulations to all newly-selected Petty Officers during a "frocking" ceremony held in conjunction with morning colors. The term "frock" is thought to compare the wearing of the rank-insignia to a cloak or "frock". According to the Naval Historical center in Washington, D.C., the practice of frocking can be traced back at least as early as 1802 when personnel assuming the uniform of the next higher rank, but not necessarily with higher pay, were appointed by proper authority to assume the duties and responsibilities of that rank prior to actual promotion.
