This will be the first modern Coast Guard cutter named for an enlisted member of the Revenue Cutter Service. The ship is meant to bring recognition to the sacrifices made by Moulthrope and other sailors who served in this precursor of the U.S. Coast Guard, according to Senior Chief Petty Officer Sara Muir. The first ten revenue cutters were ten oceangoing cutters, Muir said. We re talking about wooden vessels with sails that were built at the behest of the United States Congress in the early 1790s, largely to crack down on smuggling.
Moulthrope is recognized for heroically saving his crewmates, while they were serving off the Oregon coast.

Legal team s on-scene actions
When an incident is being investigated by the NTSB, the transport provider or manufacturer s in-house attorney assigned to the NTSB investigation and the company s NTSB-dedicated outside counsel must converge on the accident scene, along with the pre-designated party coordinator, as quickly as possible. A dedicated conference room must be requisitioned along with support staff and technology. If the emergency response plan has not already triggered periodic internal coordination conference calls, that should also be done. A similar separate call will most likely have to be coordinated for those involved with the NTSB investigation.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Sixteen people have pleaded guilty in connection with a mariner’s license test score-fixing scheme at a United States Coast Guard exam center, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Orleans said Tuesday.
They were among more than 30 people indicted in November in the scheme.
U.S. Attorney Peter Strasser’s news release says those whose pleas were announced Tuesday admitted they fraudulently obtained various mariners’ licenses by paying for phony exam scores.
The complete press release from the US Coast Guard detailing the offload is below:
Coast Guard and Navy personnel offloaded approximately 11,400 pounds of cocaine and 9,000 pounds of marijuana Monday, amounting to more than $211 million from seizures in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
The offload is the result of interdictions made by Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment 407 (LEDET) personnel, who operated aboard the USS Gabrielle Giffords, and three separate Coast Guard cutter crews between October and December.
“When you are covering a drug-smuggling transit zone the size of the continental United States, every ship makes a huge difference,” said Lt. Jonathan Dietrich. “The seamless integration between our Law Enforcement Detachment and the crew of the USS Gabrielle Giffords was a major reason why we were successful in interdicting such a large amount of drugs and prevent them from reaching our streets.”
