Senior officials of the Bollinger Shipyards LLC (Bollinger) were on hand in Apra Harbor Guam yesterday for the commissioning ceremony of three U.S. Coast Guard Fast Response Cutters (FRCs), USCGC Myrtle Hazard, USCGC Oliver Henry and USCGC Frederick Hatch.
The three FRCs build out and strengthen the United States’ strategic presence in the Indo-Pacific and are there “as a response to coercive and antagonistic behaviors from China” in the region, according to U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm.
Karl Schultz, who was also present at the ceremony.
