The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Active (WMEC 618) returned home to Port Angeles, Friday following a 65-day law enforcement patrol off the coast of Southern California. As America’s maritime law enforcement agency, the Coast Guard is increasing presence in key areas to protect U.S. maritime borders, territorial integrity, and sovereignty.
U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Active (WMEC 618) crewmembers conduct a towing and astern refueling exercise with U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Terrell Horne (WPC-1131), a 154-foot fast response cutter homeported in Los Angeles -Long Beach, California, while the cutters patrol the Pacific Ocean, Jan. 21, 2025. Active’s crew returned to their Port Angeles, Washington, homeport after patrolling over 5,500 miles off the coast of California in support of the Coast Guard District 11’s Operation Baja Tempestad which uses an interagency approach to conduct detection, monitoring, interdiction, and apprehension operations to counter Transnational Criminal Organization activity in the Coastal California Region, and the United States Pacific maritime southern border including alien interdiction operations.
