The USCGC Stone (WMSL 758) crew conduct small boat operations south of Florida around Christmas for a multi-month deployment to the South Atlantic, countering illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing while strengthening maritime relationships, sovereignty, and security throughout the region. The brand new Legend-class national security cutter, one of the U.S. Coast Guard’s flagships, will provide a presence and support national security objectives throughout the Atlantic. This patrol is the cutter’s initial shakedown cruise following its delivery in November. (U.S. Coast Guard video by Ensign John Cardinal)
