The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter George Cobb stand ready for a uniform inspection prior to the cutter's change of command ceremony held at Coast Guard Base Los Angeles-Long Beach on June 16, 2016. 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.)
