Family members hold up signs, and welcome home crewmembers from United States Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf (WMSL 750) in Alameda, California, Feb. 7, 2025. Bertholf routinely conducts operations throughout the Pacific, where the cutter’s combination of range, speed, and ability to operate in extreme-weather conditions provides the mission flexibility necessary to conduct vital strategic missions.
