USS Wasp Crossing the Line
Sailors participate in a crossing-the-line ceremony aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, Nov. 25, 2017. The ceremony is a naval tradition that recognizes when members of the crew cross the equator for the first time. Wasp is transiting to Sasebo, Japan, to conduct a turnover with the USS Bonhomme Richard as the forward-deployed flag ship of the amphibious forces in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.
