ANNAPOLIS, Md. (May 12, 2020) Midshipmen toss their covers concluding the first swearing-in event
for the United States Naval Academy Class of 2020. The Class of 2020 will graduate approximately 1,000
midshipmen during five swearing-in events and one virtual ceremony. The hat toss, now a traditional
ending to the event, originated at the Naval Academy in 1912 as a symbolic and visual end to the four-
year program. As the undergraduate college of our country's naval service, the Naval Academy prepares
young men and women to become professional officers of competence, character, and compassion in
the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Dana D. Legg/Released)
