Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB-42) take part in the time-honored 'Crossing the Line' ceremony, a ritual initiation held whenever a Navy ship crosses the Equator. First-time crossers, known as 'pollywogs,' endure good-natured hazing from veteran 'shellbacks' costumed as King Neptune's royal court, as captured in this hangar deck scene captioned 'Take Your Medicine, Pollywog.'
