Following Naval tradition, a female crew member disembarks the Gallatin during its decommissioning ceremony March 31, 2014, at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Charleston, S.C. The Coast Guard bid a fond farewell to its last East Coast-based high endurance cutter: the Cutter Gallatin that has served for more than 45 years. The decommissioning ceremony marks the retirement of a ship as a unit of the operating forces of the U.S. Coast Guard. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Lauren Jorgensen)
