Crew members assigned to the Famous-class medium endurance cutter USCGC Forward (WMEC 911) discuss operations during a replenishment at sea with the Homeland Security Cutter-Ocean (HSC-Ocean) in the Caribbean Sea, July 28, 2026. The evolution tested the HSC Ocean’s ability to transfer fuel, deliver food stores, and offload trash for large Coast Guard assets. The Forward is the first 270-foot medium endurance cutter to complete this type of at-sea resupply. (U.S. Coast Guard courtesy photo)
