Cmdr. Linden Dahlkemper accepts her commissioning pennant for USCGC Sequoia (WPB 215) in a change of command ceremony held at the Top o’the Mar in Guam on Wednesday, Sep. 13, 2023. The ceremony also signaled the official shift of the 225-foot seagoing buoy tender in Guam from USCGC Sequoia (WLB 215), currently at its major maintenance availability (MMA) at the U.S. Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, to USCGC Hickory, which is just completing MMA and will now serve the Western Pacific.
