21 Novembro 2023 - 4:30PM
The U.S. Coast Guard’s newest Legend-class national security
cutter, Calhoun (WMSL 759), departed from HII’s (NYSE:
HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division on Sunday, Nov. 19.
“We congratulate the NSC team of shipbuilders on a job well
done,” said Ingalls Shipbuilding NSC Program Manager Amanda
Whitaker. “Watching Calhoun sail away is a proud moment for us all
and we look forward to watching this highly capable national
security cutter serve for decades to come.”
Calhoun is scheduled for commissioning in 2024 and will be
homeported in Charleston, S.C., joining cutters Hamilton, James and
Stone.
Ingalls has delivered 10 Legend-class national security
cutters to the Coast Guard, including Calhoun and is
continuing construction on the final ship in the class, Friedman
(WMSL 760).

For over two decades, Ingalls Shipbuilding has designed and
built the Coast Guard’s Legend-class national security
cutters. These ships are capable of embarking and supporting a wide
range of Coast Guard, Navy and NATO missions. National security
cutters have proven to be ideal platforms for drug interdiction,
global illegal fishing, disaster relief and defense support
operations.
NSC 10 is named to honor Charles L. Calhoun, the first Master
Chief Petty Officer of the U.S. Coast Guard. Calhoun served in the
U.S. Navy for three years during World War II and was honorably
discharged in 1946 as a torpedoman’s mate petty officer 2nd class.
He enlisted in the Coast Guard that same year and held varying
positions of leadership over the course of his career.
