First Lady Michelle Obama and Coast Guard Capt. Charles Cashin, the Stratton's commanding officer, applaud after placing the Stratton into commission during an event at Coast Guard Island in Alameda, March 30, 2012. The Stratton is named for Capt. Stratton, who served as director of the Coast Guard Women's Reserve - also known as the SPARs - during World War II. The Cutter Stratton is the third of eight planned National Security Cutters and is the first of its class named for a woman. A commissioning is a formal ceremony where a ship is placed into active service and begins to function as a command. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Barry Bena)
