U.S. Coast Guard Cutters Fir (WLB 213), Storis (WAGB 21) and Munro (WMSL 755) sail alongside each other through the Bering Sea in support of Operation Tundra Merlin, July 21, 2026. The combined sail reinforces the enduring maritime partnership between the United States and Canada while enhancing interoperability and regional security in the Arctic. The bilateral maritime maneuvers advanced the strategic objectives of Operation TUNDRA MERLIN by aligning defense postures in the critical Arctic gateway. This cooperative sail cultivated a highly integrated warfighting team, ensuring that both nations remain prepared to respond rapidly to any threat to homeland sovereignty.
