Naval Base Coronado experienced a big event July 2, 2009, with a Change of Command. Our current Commanding Officer was relieved of duty to move on to his new assignment and was replaced by the new Commanding Officer. The setting was great with the bay and San Diego skyline in the background.
Rodney looked spiffy in his dress whites!!
