    After the sponsor’s order to bring life to the ship, Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton’s crew members climbed the brow and manned the rails to emphasize the Coast Guard’s newest ship as the centerpiece of the commissioning ceremony. Charleston's famous landmark, the Ravenel bridge is in the background. Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton, the first national security cutter home-ported on the East Coast, entered into active service Dec. 6, 2014, at Union Pier Terminal in downtown Charleston.

    A formal commissioning or decommissioning ceremony for a United States Coast Guard vessel, with uniformed personnel lined up on a pier and others boarding the ship via a gangway. The large white cutter is decorated with red, white, and blue bunting and international signal flags strung from bow to stern. The event appears to be an official military ceremony conducted in clear daylight at a naval or Coast Guard installation.
