Petty Officer 3rd Class Saryna Marshall, a gunner's mate assigned to Coast Guard Cutter Northland (WMEC 904), fires a line-throwing-gun during a towing exercise, Aug. 6, 2024, while underway in the Atlantic Ocean. Line-throwing-guns are used to get heaving lines to vessels in rough seas where throwing is not the best option. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony Randisi)
