Crew members from the Coast Guard Cutter Seneca set the special sea detail during a transit through the New York East River March 21, 2015 during a two-month Mid-Atlantic Ocean patrol. Medium endurance cutters like the Seneca are built for multi-week offshore patrols, including operations requiring enhanced communications, and helicopter and pursuit boat operations, which provide a key capability for homeland security operations at sea.
