U.S. Navy Capt. David Halpern, commodore of Naval Test Wing Pacific, salutes as sideboys render honors at the start of the wing's change of command and retirement ceremony at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, California, July 24, 2026. The ceremony opened with the official party piped through two rows of sideboys, a tradition carried ashore from the days when crews hoisted senior officers aboard ship. U.S. Navy Capt. Christopher Putre relieved Halpern as commodore, and Halpern retired after 26 years of service. (U.S. Navy photo by Michael Smith)
