Cadets and crew of Coast Guard Cutter Eagle stand at parade rest during a change of command. Capt. Eric C. Jones (left), assumes responsibility as commanding officer of Coast Guard Cutter Eagle from Capt. J. Christopher Sinnett (center), in a time-honored ceremony that formally transfers authority and accountability from one individual to another. Cutter Eagle serves as a seagoing classroom for future officers of the Coast Guard. A permanent crew of six officers and 55 enlisted personnel maintain the ship year round and provide a strong base of knowledge and seamanship for the training of up to 150 cadets or officer candidates at a time.
