U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Legare Sails To Western And Central Africa




The Portsmouth, Va.,-based U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Legare sails past Naval Station Norfolk, July 1, en route western and central Africa. Under the direction of the commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, Legare will support the Navy's 6th Fleet by serving as the primary APS platform, conducting activities and exchanges that bolster maritime safety and security as part of an ongoing support mission made up of multinational governmental agencies and nongovernmental organizations.

Yes Chrissie, that white cutter is a pretty ship. Whatever the mission the Coast Guard will carry it out well. From the destination it appears the Legare will be interdicting Pirates.
