HONOLULU, Hawaii\u2014<\/strong>U.S. Coast Guard cutter Harriet Lane<\/em> (WMEC 903) and crew arrived at its new home port at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Wednesday, after transiting more than 8,000 nautical miles over 36-days from Portsmouth, Virginia.<\/p>\n

The Harriet Lane<\/em> is U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area\u2019s newest Indo-Pacific support cutter and spent more than 15 months in a Service Life Extension Program in Baltimore, Maryland, to prepare for the transition in missions and operations. Following reconstitution of the crew in July and returning to Portsmouth in August, the crew went through an extensive dockside period, ensuring the cutter was ready for the transit from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

\u201cRe-homeporting U.S. Coast Guard cutter Harriet Lane<\/em> is indicative of the Coast Guard\u2019s commitment to the Indo-Pacific\u2014the most dynamic region in the world,\u201d said Rear Adm. Brendan McPherson, deputy commander, U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area. \u201cHarriet Lane<\/em> will work by, with, and through allies and partners within the Indo-Pacific region to promote capacity building and model good maritime governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crew and I look forward to building partnerships in Oceania to enhance our capabilities, strengthen maritime governance and security while promoting individual sovereignty,\u201d said Cmdr. Nicole Tesoniero, commanding officer of the Harriet Lane<\/em>. \u201cWe plan to build upon many decades of enduring support, operating in concert with the needs of our partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harriet Lane<\/em> and crew departed Coast Guard Base Portsmouth, November 2023, and during the transit, the crew conducted trainings for upcoming operations along with professional development for crewmembers. Harriet Lane<\/em> transited through the Panama Canal, and had port calls in Golfito, Costa Rica and San Diego.<\/p>\n

Harriet Lane<\/em>, commissioned in 1984, is a 270-foot medium endurance cutter now homeported in Honolulu to support Coast Guard missions in the Pacific region. The service\u2019s medium endurance cutter fleet supports a variety of Coast Guard missions including search and rescue, law enforcement, maritime defense, and protection of the marine environment.
