171125-N-BD308-0309 ATLANTIC OCEAN (Nov. 25, 2017) "Pollywogs" aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) run the obstacle course to become "shellbacks" during a crossing the line ceremony. The crossing the line ceremony is a naval tradition which 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 (LHD 6) as the forward-deployed flagship of the amphibious forces in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.
