The United States Coast Guard Cutter James, the second National Security Cutter for the East Coast, arrived Aug. 28, 2015 in its homeport in Charleston, S.C. The James is the fifth NSC built out of eight planned for the Legend class cutter fleet. Legend-class NSC’s are the largest multipurpose cutters in the Coast Guard fleet and are replacing the 378-foot high endurance cutter, which has been in service since the 1960s. The NSC is 418 feet long, has a top speed of approximately 28 knots and a range of about 12,000 nautical miles. It is capable of patrolling for more than 90 days. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
