VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The Coast Guard recently held a heritage recognition ceremony in Virginia Beach to honor the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Dependable (WMEC 626) and its 56 years
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Dependable has lived up to its name. That was made clear Tuesday in a ceremony in Virginia Beach, Va., to honor the Dependable and its 56 years of service to the nation.
A U.S. Coast Guard Cutter crew transferred 96 Haitians, one Ugandan, and one Bahamian to Bahamian authorities today, following an interdiction 20 miles east of Boca Raton earlier this week.
Sector Virginia Command Center watchstanders issued an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast, to which a Good Samaritan responded and rescued the two men from the water after they had abandoned ship due to the fire.
