NORFOLK, Va. (Aug. 10, 2018) Capt. John J. Cummings, USS Gerald R. Ford’s (CVN 78) commanding officer, gives remarks after properly relieving Capt. Richard McCormack, Ford’s former commanding officer, during the ship’s change of command ceremony at Vista Point onboard Naval Station Norfolk. The change of command ceremony is a time-honored Naval tradition in which the transfer of responsibility, authority, and accountability occurs from one individual to another individual.
