A change of command ceremony honors Cmdr. Alan B. McCabe (far left), outgoing Commanding Officer of Coast Guard Cutter Seneca, on their homeport pier at Base Boston, on Thursday, May 24, 2018, in Boston, Massachusetts. The change of command ceremony is a time-honored military tradition aboard ships and shore commands and signifies a total transfer of responsibility, authority, and accountability from one individual to another.
