The Coast Guard celebrated the keel-laying of the first Heritage-class offshore patrol cutter, Coast Guard Cutter Argus, April 28, 2020, in Panama City, Florida. The laying of the keel traditionally marks the first step in ship construction. With today's advanced modular shipbuilding, the keel laying ceremony now recognizes the joining together of a ship's components and is a major milestone in the ship's construction.
