GULF OF TADJOURA (May 13, 2021) A 34-foot Dauntless-class patrol boat assigned to Maritime
Expeditionary Security Squadron Eleven (MESRON-11) keeps watch over Charles Moulthrope, Coast
Guard Patrol Craft (WPC 1141) and Robert Goldman (WPC 1142), Coast Guard Sentinel-class cutters
(USCGC) during their at-sea refueling in the Gulf of Tadjoura on May 13, 2021.
The Maritime Expeditionary Security Forces protect U.S. ships around the clock in port, or while
transiting into harbors around the world. MESRON-11 is stationed at Camp Lemonnier and covers traffic
in and around the Port of Djibouti.
Charles Moulthrope and Robert Goldman are traveling to their new forward-deployed homeport in
Bahrain to replace decommissioning island-class patrol boats as part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Patrol
Forces Southwest Asia (PATFORSWA).
As per the SECNAV Memo of 4 March 2021, the use of masks aboard the patrol boats is relaxed due to
the high-risk nature of operations, specifically in this photo the need for clear, audible and unrestricted
visualization of verbal communication required for safe and effective operations. (U.S. Navy photo by
