USCGC Stone (WMSL 758) departs port in Mississippi on Dec. 22, 2020, just ahead of Christmas, for a multi-month deployment to the South Atlantic, countering illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing, strengthening relationships for maritime sovereignty and security throughout the region. This patrol is the cutter’s initial shakedown cruise following its delivery in November. (U.S. Coast Guard video by Ensign John Cardinal)
