USS Zephyr (PC 8) and two other Cyclone Class ships on display in the Port of Baltimore, along with other naval vessels from the United States and other maritime nations commemorating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the writing of the national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." During their visit to the city, the public is welcomed to tour the ships, affording them an opportunity to better understand sea power and its importance to ensuring the unobstructed access to and free use of the world’s oceans, which are essential to our national welfare and prosperity, just as it was in 1812 when the United States Navy and the Revenue Cutter Service (later renamed the U.S. Coast Guard) went to war to defend and has been protecting ever since. Ultimately, the commemoration is a salute to all sailors, Coast Guardsmen and Marines who fought gallantly against great odds in the 1812 conflict and those since, as well as being always ready to provide compassionate humanitarian aid whenever and wherever catastrophe strikes (U.S. Navy photo by Joseph P. Cirone)
