U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf crew members work together to establish shore lines during the ship's return to home port in Alameda, California on Aug. 10, 2025. Bertholf routinely operates throughout the Pacific, where its combination of range, speed, and ability to withstand extreme weather provides the mission flexibility needed to carry out vital strategic operations.
