After the sponsor’s order to bring life to the ship, Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton’s crew members climbed the brow and manned the rails to emphasize the Coast Guard’s newest ship as the centerpiece of the commissioning ceremony. Charleston's famous landmark, the Ravenel bridge is in the background. Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton, the first national security cutter home-ported on the East Coast, entered into active service Dec. 6, 2014, at Union Pier Terminal in downtown Charleston.
