Coast Guard crewmembers in a small boat from the Cutter VIGOROUS interact with Haitian sailors of a makeshift sloop off the northern coast of Haiti. The crew is deployed in support of Operation Vigilant Sentry which aims to curb illegal immigration to the U.S. The VIGOROUS, a 210-foot, Reliance-class medium endurance cutter, is homeported at the Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, in Virginia. The Reliance-class cutter eventually will be replaced by 360-foot Heritage-class offshore patrol cutters and 154-foot fast response cutters.
