Midshipmen “toss their covers” in front of Bancroft Hall at the United States Naval Academy as the Navy’s Blue Angels fly over in May of 2020. Graduation in 2020 was done in five swearing-in ceremonies and one virtual ceremony due to the COVID distancing restrictions in place at the time. The cover toss is a tradition which ends the ceremony that originated in 1912. The Naval Academy prepares young men and women in four years of instruction, and physical, mental and leadership testing, to become professional officers of competence, character and compassion in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The photo reference for this drawing was taken by MCS2 Dana Legg.
