Ian's Change of Command Ceremony

On Monday, December 21 our dear friend Ian Scaliatine was being honored down in San Diego with a time-honored tradition in the Navy, a Change of Command Ceremony. This ceremony formally announces to the sailors, crew and assembled company of an instand transfer of total responsibility, authority and accountability from one indivdual to another. Ian took charge of a ship employing an 86-person crew. It was a wonderful ceremony. Afterwards, Ian gave us a tour of the ship. Not many people have an opportunity to tour a US Naval ship. It was so fascinating. A celebratory reception took place at the Scaliatine home after leaving the base. Everything was lovely and we are so proud of Ian. Congrats Lieutenant Commander Scaliatine!!!
