The crew of Coast Guard Cutter Munro, the service's sixth National Security Cutter, returns to homeport in Alameda, Calif., April 6, 2017 after being commissioned in Seattle April 1.
NSCs routinely conduct operations from South America to the Bering Sea where their unmatched combination of range, speed and ability to operate in extreme weather provides the mission flexibility necessary to conduct alien migrant interdiction operations, domestic fisheries protection, search and rescue, counter-narcotics and homeland security operations at great distances from shore, keeping threats far from the U.S. mainland.
