We caught up with the command of USCGC Frederick Hatch (WPC 1143) as they conducted a medical evacuation and community engagements in Pohnpei on the heels of fisheries boardings in the Federated States of Micronesia exclusive economic zone in late November 2022. Frederick Hatch was on an expeditionary patrol in Oceania in support of Operation Rematau and Operation Blue Pacific to promote security, safety, sovereignty, and economic prosperity in Oceania. The Frederick Hatch is the 43rd 154-foot Sentinel-class fast response cutter named for a surfman and lighthouse keeper who was a two-time Gold Life Saving Medal recipient.
