The Coast Guard Cutter Reliance is a medium endurance cutter which, like other cutters in its class, is primarily assigned law enforcement and search and rescue missions. It can support one HH-65A helicopter, but no hangar is provided. All ships of its class have undergone or will undergo Midlife Maintenance Availability (MMA) during the next several years. The purpose of MMA is to upgrade machinery and equipment in order that the class may remain mission capable, supportable, and reliable for the second half of its service life. The Reliance is home ported in New Castle, N.H. US Coast Guard Art Program 2002 Collection, Ob ID # 200228, "The seas ahead," Robert Selby
