U.S. Sailors and Marines participate in a crossing the line ceremony aboard USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) as the ship passes the equator May 16, 2008. It has been a long naval tradition to initiate pollywogs, Sailors who have never crossed the Equator, into the Kingdom of Neptune, the legendary god of the seas, upon their first crossing of the Equator.
