The crew of USCGC Myrtle Hazard (WPC 1139) approach Guam on Feb. 14, 2025, on patrol of the U.S. territorial EEZ. The crew completed a multi-mission patrol from Feb. 3 to Feb. 24, 2025, strengthening maritime border security across the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) surrounding Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the approaches to our ports from the high seas. Covering nearly 1,700 nautical miles, the crew provided critical presence, enforced federal laws, and responded to search and rescue cases under Operation Blue Pacific and Operation Rematau.
