Current and former crewmembers of the USCGC Smilax (WLIC 315), Coast Guard Queen of the Fleet, stand together aboard the deck of the cutter, Nov. 7, 2024, during the 80th Anniversary celebration held in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. The cutter Smilax holds the title of 'Queen of the Fleet' because it is the oldest actively commissioned cutter in the Coast Guard's cutter fleet.
