The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Waesche runs to man the rails and bring the ship alive during the commissioning ceremony for the Waesche on Coast Guard Island in Alameda, Calif., May 7. The Waesche is the second of eight planned National Security Cutters and will improve operational readiness and enable the Coast Guard to fulfill its multi-mission roles more effectively through better sea keeping, higher sustained transit speeds, and greater endurance and range.
