A family member waves goodbye to the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Thetis, (WMEC-910) as they got underway for inclement weather ahead of Tropical Storm Elsa in Key West, Florida July 4, 2021. Coast Guard crews protect their vessels, equipment and infrastructure during a tropical storm or hurricane so they are available to support Coast Guard missions of maritime search and rescue and port reconstitution.
