Jonathan Carter, outgoing commanding officer of Coast Guard Cutter Stone (WMSL 758), and Petty Officer 1st Class Lucas Hatton, a crew member assigned to Stone, pose for a photo with Carter's going away gift following the cutter's change-of-command ceremony in North Charleston, South Carolina, June 5, 2025.
