Brendan McPherson, deputy commander, Coast Guard Pacific Area, presided over the ceremony honoring the 56 years of service of the 'Steadfast'. Commissioned in 1968, Steadfast was one of 16 Reliance-class medium endurance cutters built for search and rescue, counter-narcotic operations, and migrant interdiction. As part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Foreign Military Sales Program, the 'Steadfast' will transfer to Baltimore where she will be available for transfer to another country as an Excess Defense Article.
