The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a routine deployment in U.S. Sixth Fleet area, working alongside Allies, building maritime domain awareness and sharing best practices with partner nation Navies and Coast Guards.
“Operating with U.S. Sixth Fleet will foster unity of effort to secure unfettered access to the maritime domain,” said Capt. Timothy Cronin, captain of USCGC Hamilton (WMSL 753). “Our goal is to promote a strong global network of maritime partnerships and expand the Sixth Fleet’s military advantage at sea.”
U.S. Coast Guard forward deployed presence demonstrates our continued commitment to maritime security and stability in Europe and Africa. In 2019 and 2020, Coast Guard cutters operated in the U.S. Sixth Fleet area of operations, supporting U.S. Africa Command during operations and exercises, like Africa Partnership Station. The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard routinely operate together to conduct training, exercises, and maritime security operations
Hamilton is the fourth ship in its class. The Legend-class is the largest current cutter class of the U.S. Coast Guard. These vessels support various missions, including environmental protection, search and rescue, fisheries, port security, counterterrorism, law enforcement, drug interdiction, defense operations, and other military operations.
