Cutter Diligence former commanding officer Capt. Jeffrey Randall receives a parting gift of a framed painting with a commissioning pennant and three unique coins: 50th anniversary coin, Diligence challenge coin and a North Carolina-shaped Diligence. Chief Jason Cuff, the Cutter's command chief, presented on behalf of the crew during the change of command ceremony July 9, 2015. The change of command ceremony is a time-honored tradition that formally restates the continuity of command. It is performed before an assembled crew to confirm to each member that although the authority of command is relinquished by one leader and assumed by another, it is still maintained without interruption.
