How do you walk past a Navy formation?

Answer 1

It depends on how close you are, your rank, and if you're in uniform or not. If you're in uniform and a commissioned officer, the leader of the formation should render a salute to you as they pass within range, holding until acknowledged. If you're Enlisted, and there is an officer leading the formation, you'd render a salute to that officer as the formation passed if close enough.

If you're enlisted and the formation is enlisted, keep on walking. If you're a civilian, just get out of the way or you'll be marched over.
