Four crew on the Famous-class medium endurance cutter USCGC Harriet Lane (WMEC 903) handle a hose during a hot in-flight refuel on Nov. 19, 2021, in the Caribbean Sea. HIFRs allow a faster means of fueling during time sensitive law enforcement or search and rescue operations. The crew returned to homeport in Portsmouth on Dec. 6, after a 49-day patrol.
