Eastern Pacific Ocean -- Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Brain Gogo, a machinery technician onboard Coast Guard Cutter Morgenthau, records important engine readings while underway May 1, 2008.
The Morgenthau's 179-member crew departed Alameda, Calif., on April 28, 2008 for a six month South East Asia patrol. The Morgenthau will participate in the 2008 Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) and South East Asia Cooperation Against Terrorism (SEA-CAT). This represents the 14th time the U.S. Coast Guard has participated in these bilateral exercises. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Melissa Hauck)
