The primary purpose of a change of command ceremony is to?
As the story goes, back in the 1600s a British ship was at anchor awaiting its new captain's arrival. A man in uniform came aboard, announced that he was the new captain, ordered the men to set sail, and he navigated the ship to a port in Holland, which was at that time at war with Britain. Turns out that the guy claiming to be the new captain was a spy. Ever since then, the process of assuming command has been more formal. The new captain must show his orders, and read his orders aloud to the assembled crew. In our more modern era, it gives and opportunity for a ceremony, and some speeches, and for the new captain to make clear to his crew what he expects them to do. It's also a great excuse for a party, and in the Navy at least, to have some champagne at the C.O.'s expense.

Do you have to be on a ship to be in the navy?
Most sailors will serve aboard ships much of the time, but it isn't a hard-and-fast rule. I myself am a retired U.S. Navy officer having served for 21 years, and have never been to sea. But I was assigned to a Navy Patrol Squadron flying the airliner-sized P-3 Orion patrol aircraft. I've only spent three nights aboard a ship in my life! And my friends tell me that my nights aboard ship don't count, because it was on the R.M.S. Queen Mary, which is welded to the pier in Long Beach, California. But I say a ship is a ship! Jokes aside, many Navy jobs are in support roles ashore.
