NSC #3 Delivered, #4 Started, #5 to be Contracted.

USCGC Stratton, WMSL-752 was delivered on Friday, Sept. 2. More here.

Fabrication of USCGC Hamilton, WMSL 753, began two days earlier on August 31.

I have heard USCGC James, WMSL 754, will be contracted next week.

The Coast Guard has gotten its act together. Now, will Congress fully funds USCGC Stone , WMSL 755, in FY2013?

I’m assuming that STONE is named for E.F. Stone, Coast Guard Aviator #1. Who is the namesake of JAMES?
