The Coast Guard Cutter Lawrence Lawson crew mans the rail during sea trials off the coast of Miami, Florida, on Dec. 12, 2016. The ship will be the second fast response cutter stationed in Cape May, New Jersey, and is scheduled for commissioning in early 2017. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Eric D. Woodall)
Wanted to post this ALCGOFF for a couple of reasons. First it indicates that some of the Webber class will be commanded by CWO BOSN and second that it seems to indicate a couple of the class are going to Boston and at least one to Kodiak. Not sure, but this seems earlier than expected.
These changes may also reflect a desire for more experience because these little ships are venturing far from home.
