U.S. Coast Guard Vice Adm. Andrew Tiongson, Pacific Area commander, presides over the Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf's (WMSL 750) change of command ceremony in Kodiak, Alaska, June 12, 2023. A change of command ceremony marks a transfer of total responsibility and authority from one individual to another, and it is a time-honored tradition to formally demonstrate the continuity of authority within a command conducted before the assembled crew and esteemed guests and dignitaries.
