Rear Adm. Kurt J. Rothenhaus, commander of Naval Information Warfare Systems Command and presiding officer, passes through an honor passage of sideboys during a change of command ceremony at Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific in San Diego, May 21, 2026. The tradition of sideboys dates to the age of sail, when crewmen were required to physically hoist visiting officers aboard ships using a boatswain's chair and rigging. Today, the honor passage serves as a formal ceremonial greeting, with the number of sideboys determined by the rank of the arriving dignitary. (U.S. Navy photo by Marsha Lapid)
