    Whether performing law enforcement, search and rescue, or military operations in the Atlantic, Pacific, Alaska's Bering Sea, or around the world, high-endurance cutters like the CGC Gallatin bring unique Coast Guard resources, capabilities and expertise to remote locations. Named for a former Secretary of the Treasury, Gallatin was commissioned into service in 1968. At sea, a Coast Guard high-endurance cutter is a triple threat to smugglers, foreign fishing vessels, and others seeking to trespass in U. S. waters. The 378-foot cutters have long-range cruise capabilities; the helicopters and small boats they carry provide both quick response and close-quarters maneuvering. As this aging fleet of veteran cutters prepares to retire from service, the Coast Guard plans newer deepwater replacements that will be modern versions of the durable, effective and seaworthy Gallatin.
