Coast Guard Lt. Kindal Holman (left), the new commanding officer of Coast Guard Cutter Earl Cunningham (WPC 1159), stands for a photo with Capt. Christopher Culpepper (center), commander of Sector Western Alaska and U.S. Arctic, and Lt. Frederick Scott (right), prior commanding officer of the Cunningham, following their change of command ceremony on Paradigm Pier in Kodiak, Alaska, May 21, 2026. A change of command ceremony is a time-honored tradition that Culpepper oversaw as Holman assumed the responsibilities of commanding officer from Scott.
