Fourth National Security Cutter delivered to Coast Guard

The Coast Guard accepted delivery of the fourth National Security Cutter, Hamilton, in Pascagoula, Miss., Monday. Hamilton will be the first of two NSCs to be homeported in Charleston, S.C. The cutter will be commissioned into service Dec. 6. “After three years of fabrication and expert craftsmanship, Ingalls shipyard has delivered a great ship to the Coast Guard,” said Capt. Douglas Fears, the prospective commanding officer of Hamilton. “The Coast Guard's Project Resident Office has fastidiously overseen the production of Hamilton through all key acquisition milestones.” - See more at: http://www.workboat.com/Online-Features/2014/Fourth-National-Security-Cutter-delivered-to-Coast-Guard/#sthash.Xu4atZW9.dpuf
