Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB-42) take part in the Navy's traditional 'Crossing the Line' ceremony, held when a ship crosses the Equator. First-time crossers, known as Pollywogs, were initiated by veteran 'Shellbacks' in a raucous, often messy ritual on the hangar deck. The handwritten caption, 'Hooray, the End!!', captures the sailors' relief at the ceremony's conclusion. Project: 218371
