Norco Navy’s skipper dons top rank

NORCO, Calif. Director, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Strategic Studies Group Adm. James R. Hogg (Ret.), left, administers oath of office during Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona Division Commanding Officer Capt. (select) Eric Ver Hage’s frocking ceremony, a Navy tradition that allows an officer qualified for promotion to wear the next-higher rank and assume associated duties until formally promoted later with corresponding pay. Attended by friends, family and the workforce, the event included a briefing for community leaders on the vital work performed at NSWC Corona in support of national defense.
