The Coast Guard Cutter George Cobb displays dress ship conditions in preparation for a change of command ceremony for the cutter's officer in charge held on June 16, 2016 at Coast Guard Base Los Angeles-Long Beach. The change of command ceremony is a time-honored tradition, deeply rooted in Coast Guard and Naval history. The event signifies a total transfer of responsibility, authority and accountability of the command. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrea Anderson.)
