Petty Officer 2nd Class James Chavez, a machinery technician assigned to the Coast Guard Cutter Stratton, embraces his daughters at Coast Guard Island in Alameda, Calif., Nov. 28, 2014, after returning home from a 140-day deployment. Stratton and the cutter’s 145-person crew provide the mission flexibility necessary to conduct counter-narcotics, homeland security, and alien migrant interdiction operations, domestic fisheries protection, search and rescue, and other Coast Guard missions at great distances from shore keeping threats far from the U.S. mainland.
