In the wake of September 11, 2001, this 25' Boston Whaler was the typical craft the USCG used to patrol key waters. Coast Guard reservist members of Port Security Unit 305, based in Fort Eustis, Virginia, were called to active duty and deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where Al Qaeda and Taliban prisoners were held. The GTMO lighthouse/museum in the background is the standout landmark for this longtime U. S. Naval base. Various communication towers line the hillside above it.
