ALAMEDA, Calif. - Seaman Apprentice Melissa Gray, a crewmember stationed aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Waesche, conducts a security round aboard the Waesche while it's moored to the pier at the San Diego Navy Base in San Diego. Security watch-standers ensure that machinery is operating within normal perimeters and physically inspect the ship's spaces to check for fire, flooding or any other threat to the safety and security of the ship and its crew.
