Tugs? What happened to conning the damned vessel alongside the pier or is COMLANTAREA really husbanding these 270s so they don't get damaged during Special Sea Detail?

Spent a good few years on that NORTHLAND Cutter! Still patrolling the some old area! A good 20 years ago! Different time for sure! The CG needs new cutters!

Nothing changes - served on a 311' built in 1942 during her last days .
