Diligence is scheduled to depart the city of Wilmington on Monday to conduct a patrol in support of the Seventh Coast Guard District, and will return to the cutter’s new homeport, Pensacola, Florida.

“The past and present crew of Diligence have truly appreciated the support of the Wilmington community over the years,” said Slivinski. “Our close and welcoming relationship has been special and we’ll miss calling the Coast Guard City of Wilmington our home, but we’re eager to embark on the adventure of establishing a new home port following this patrol.”
