U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Fir (WLB 213) and USCGC Storis (WAGB 21) transit along the Bering Sea during a combined sail supporting Operation Tundra Merlin, July 21, 2026. Conducted in coordination with the Canadian-led Operation LATITUDE and U.S. Coast Guard-led Operation FRONTIER SENTINEL, the combined transit demonstrated seamless binational defense coordination in the High North. This collaborative effort under Operation TUNDRA MERLIN strengthened tactical integration and validated the collective ability to secure maritime approaches within the Alaskan Theater of Operations.
