Lt. j.g. Brittany Curran, stationed on the Coast Guard Cutter Aspen, casts off the last mooring line for the Aspen as it departs for the Gulf of Mexico, June 3, 2010, to provide clean up and operational support for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. With a crew of 34 and seven officers, the Aspen is one of the most technologically advanced cutters in the Coast Guard fleet, capable of providing on-the-water skimming operations. The Aspen is a versatile ship that can be used for pollution response, command and control, logistics, or other roles in addition to her primary missions of maintaining aids to navigation, search and rescue, and law enforcement.
