Deployed with the Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutters North of the Arctic Circle. All twelve have storied records and HiStory. All twelve require replacement in the face of growing tasking of greater consequence in an environment where their mission set is growing exponentially every day. In fact we need more than twelve High Endurance Cutters in the USCG IMHO!
The OPCs will be HECs if we ever get them.
YES! I understand this too. At PRESENT . . . we await the arrival of OPC. The USCG and Eastern Shipbuilding are taking their time and doing a thorough job. That job is being characterized as anything but by those who want to capitalize on the opportunity given their influence in the government. Those DOING THE WORK . . . are being ABUSED!!! NOT AMERICAN!
