Coast Guard 13th District Master Chief Petty Officer Jason Wong, on-coming command master chief, salutes Rear Adm. David Throop, commander, after Wong assumed the duties of district command master chief during a change-of-watch ceremony held in Seattle, July 9, 2018.
A change of watch is a timed honored ceremony rich in naval tradition where the entire command can witness the transfer of responsibility.
