This will be the first modern Coast Guard cutter named for an enlisted member of the Revenue Cutter Service. The ship is meant to bring recognition to the sacrifices made by Moulthrope and other sailors who served in this precursor of the U.S. Coast Guard, according to Senior Chief Petty Officer Sara Muir. The first ten revenue cutters were ten oceangoing cutters, Muir said. We re talking about wooden vessels with sails that were built at the behest of the United States Congress in the early 1790s, largely to crack down on smuggling.
Moulthrope is recognized for heroically saving his crewmates, while they were serving off the Oregon coast.
