Is there some kind of ceremony or "rite" for that for first-timers?

You're confusing JimL and Tassman. Here's how to tell them apart: JimL is the imitator; Tassman is the one who is congenitably unable to let someone else have the last word.

Well, someone has to set you all straight. Oh, is this the "last word" again?

That's for crossing the equator, which I never did; I'm still a pollywog, alas. There's also the Order of Magellan, for circumnagivating the globe. My submarine did that the deployment before I arrived (the easy way, by circling the North Pole ).

Isn't there something special about crossing the international date line at the equator? Maybe that adds "gold" to order of Neptune?

I was aboard the USS Ranger for a short time, but we never went under the ice.

Considering it would've been a one way trip, that's all for the best.

By the dawn's early light? Frost on the pasture, for one thing. Deer in the field. And Jake taking a nap on his chair.
