A crewmember aboard the Coast Guard Cutter William Tate, a 175-foot coastal buoy tender homeported in Philadelphia, uses an acetylene torch to heat a shackle pin while replacing a buoy on March 7, 2023. The cutter aids in replacing ice buoys with summer buoys every spring while also conducting maintenance and fixing discrepancies. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Carmen Caver)
