HONOLULU — The media is invited to the commissioning ceremony for the Coast Guard Cutter William Hart (WPC 1134) at Coast Guard Base Honolulu, Thursday.
The commissioning will commence at 10 a.m. with a ceremony followed by a reception. Lt. Cmdr. Laura Foster, the William Hart’s commanding officer, will be available for interviews immediately following the ceremony.

The new FRCs boast advanced command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems while providing a larger, more stable, and safer platform from which to conduct operations.
