USCGC Stratton (WMSL-752) is the third Legend-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard. It is the first "white hull" cutter named after a woman since the 1980s (USCGC Harriet Lane was launched in 1984). Stratton is named for Coast Guard Captain Dorothy C. Stratton (1899–2006). Stratton served as director of the SPARS, the Coast Guard Women's Reserve during World War II.[6]

History

[edit]

Construction began in 2008 by Northrop Grumman's Ship System Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The keel was laid on July 20, 2009. The cutter's sponsor is Michelle Obama, who is the first First Lady to sponsor a Coast Guard cutter.[7]

On 23 July 2010 Michelle Obama christened the cutter in a ceremony at the ship builder's.[8]

In August 2011, Stratton completed sea trials.[9] On September 2, 2011 Stratton was acquired by the Coast Guard.[10] On December 19, 2011 Stratton arrived in San Francisco, pier 27, for its inaugural homecoming visit to the Bay Area.[11]

On March 31, 2012, Stratton was officially commissioned by the Coast Guard in Alameda, California, with First Lady Michelle Obama in attendance.[12]

In April 2012, the crew of Stratton discovered four holes in the hull and the ship was sent to drydock to have these repaired.[13]

On July 18, 2015, Stratton intercepted a semi-submersible loaded with approximately 16,000 pounds of cocaine. Stratton was able to offload more than 12,000 pounds worth an estimated $181 million before the craft sank.[14][15] It is estimated to be the largest such seizure of its kind.[16]

In July 2015, Insitu UAS demonstrated how ScanEagle can maximize the effectiveness of USCG vessels, the exercise also showcased the platform's ability to conduct seamless, concurrent aviation operations with crewed aircraft.[17]

On June 13, 2019, Stratton departed for a Western Pacific patrol in support of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command where the cutter would operate under tactical control of the United States Seventh Fleet commander.[18] During this patrol, Stratton would enforce United Nations Security Council resolutions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, combat illegal fishing, conduct capacity-building exercises with navies and coast guards, and would also participate in various military exercises and training's, including Maritime Training Activity Malaysia 2019, Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training Indonesia 2019, and Exercise Talisman Saber.[19][20]

Naming and Construction

Namesake and Authorization

The USCGC Stratton (WMSL-752) is named for Captain Dorothy C. Stratton (March 24, 1899 – September 17, 2006), the first woman commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard and founding director of the SPARS (Women's Reserve) during World War II. Born in Brookfield, Missouri, Stratton earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Missouri in 1921 and a master's from Columbia University in 1925; she later served as Dean of Women at Purdue University from 1933 to 1940. Commissioned as a lieutenant in the Coast Guard Temporary Reserve on November 24, 1942, she was appointed director of the SPARS on the same day, overseeing recruitment, training, and assignment of over 10,000 women to non-combat roles such as clerical work, communications, and yeoman duties to free male personnel for sea duty. Stratton coined the acronym "SPARS" from the Coast Guard motto Semper Paratus ("Always Ready"), promoted to captain in 1944, and awarded the Legion of Merit for her leadership before the SPARS was disbanded in 1946. The procurement of Stratton, the third Legend-class National Security Cutter, was authorized by as part of the U.S. 's Integrated Deepwater System recapitalization program, established post-9/11 to replace legacy high-endurance cutters with modern multi-mission vessels capable of operating in severe sea states. Initial congressional authorization for the Cutter (NSC) program came through the and subsequent authorization acts, with the program of record specifying up to eight NSCs funded via annual Department of appropriations beginning in 2005 for the lead ship Bertholf. For Stratton, long-lead time materials were procured under a $22.4 million contract awarded to Ship Systems on September 28, 2007, with full construction funded in 2008 appropriations totaling approximately $583 million for the hull, mechanical, and electrical systems. This aligned with congressional directives in the Authorization Act of 2006 and later acts emphasizing fleet modernization for , , and search-and-rescue missions.

Keel Laying, Launch, and Commissioning

The of the future USCGC Stratton (WMSL-752), the third vessel in the U.S. Coast Guard's Legend-class National Security Cutter program, was ceremonially laid on July 20, 2009, at in . This event marked the formal beginning of the ship's hull fabrication by Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, later reorganized under . As the ship's sponsor, First Lady participated by having her initials welded onto a plate, symbolizing her ongoing affiliation with the vessel. Stratton was launched into the water on July 18, 2010, at the Pascagoula shipyard. The official christening ceremony followed on July 23, 2010, conducted by sponsor , who broke a bottle of champagne across the bow in a traditional naval rite honoring Captain Dorothy C. Stratton, the ship's namesake and the 's first female commissioned officer. This marked the first time a served as sponsor for a cutter. Following outfitting and builder's trials, Stratton was delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard in September 2011. The cutter underwent acceptance trials before proceeding to its homeport in Alameda, California. She was formally commissioned into active service on March 31, 2012, during a ceremony at Coast Guard Island in Alameda, with First Lady Obama attending to represent the ship's sponsorship. The event included security measures enforced around the island to protect participants and the proceedings.

This gun, a variant of the 57 mm, integrates with an automated gunfire control system for precision targeting. Secondary armament includes provisions for four .50-caliber M2 machine guns and two Mk 38 Mod 2 25 mm chain guns, which can be mounted on stern platforms for close-range defense against small boats or personnel. Defensive systems feature a single Block 1B Baseline 2 20 mm (CIWS) for intercepting incoming missiles or aircraft at short range, supplemented by Mk 53 active decoy launchers to counter anti-ship threats by deploying infrared and radar decoys. Electronic warfare capabilities include the AN/SLQ-32(V)2 electronic support measures (ESM) suite for detecting and identifying radar emissions, enabling threat evasion and . Sensors encompass a TRS-3D multimode naval radar for 3D air and surface search, providing detection ranges exceeding 100 nautical miles for air contacts and supporting maritime surveillance. Additional systems include the SPQ-9B for gun targeting, X- and S-band navigational radars, and integration with C5ISR (command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) networks for real-time data sharing. These configurations align with the class standard, with no publicly documented deviations for Stratton.

Aviation, Boat Handling, and Support Features

The USCGC Stratton (WMSL-752), a Legend-class Cutter, incorporates dedicated facilities designed for multi-mission operations, including a supporting landings, takeoffs, and , as well as a hangar bay accommodating up to two MH-65 Dolphin helicopters for maintenance, fueling, and storage. These capabilities enable sustained airborne , search-and-rescue, and support during extended deployments, with the ship routinely conducting dynamic interface training for vertical on-deck deliveries. In addition to crewed aircraft, Stratton integrates small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS), such as the ScanEagle, for real-time reconnaissance and search tasks, marking it as the first Coast Guard cutter to deploy with fully operational sUAS integration during a patrol in 2024. Operational records show the vessel performing over 690 landings during Alaskan patrols in 2025, including helicopter in-flight refueling (HIFR) evolutions and night operations with MH-60 and MH-65 aircraft. For boat handling, Stratton employs a stern ramp launch-and-recovery system optimized for deploying multiple rigid-hull inflatable boats (RHIBs), including over-the-horizon (OTH) class vessels such as the 11-meter SOLAS-approved cutter boats and 7-meter pursuit boats, facilitating rapid insertion for boarding teams, interdictions, and littoral operations. This system supports three small boats simultaneously, with cranes for side launches and the ramp enabling high-sea-state recoveries, enhancing the cutter's ability to project force beyond the horizon while maintaining operational endurance. Support features for both and assets include integrated fueling stations, modular maintenance bays within the and boat storage areas, and advanced C5ISR systems for coordinating air-surface operations, allowing seamless data sharing between helicopters, UAS, RHIBs, and the ship's . These elements contribute to the cutter's role as a forward-operating platform, with demonstrated in joint exercises involving allied forces.

Operational History

Initial Shakedown and Early Deployments

The USCGC Stratton (WMSL-752) was delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard on September 19, 2011, following completion of builder's sea trials conducted by Huntington Ingalls Industries in Pascagoula, Mississippi. These trials tested the cutter's propulsion, navigation, and combat systems under operational conditions to ensure compliance with contract specifications prior to acceptance. Subsequent to delivery, the vessel underwent government acceptance trials and shakedown operations, which involved intensive at-sea evaluations of hull integrity, machinery reliability, and crew-system integration to identify and rectify any deficiencies before entering active service. These activities culminated in the cutter's official commissioning ceremony on March 31, 2012, at Coast Guard Base Alameda, California, presided over by First Lady Michelle Obama as sponsor. Immediately following commissioning, Stratton entered a post-shakedown availability period to address trial findings and achieve initial operational capability, including crew certification and integration into the Coast Guard's Pacific Area fleet. Early deployments emphasized readiness exercises and short-duration patrols along the U.S. West Coast to validate sustained operations, paving the way for extended missions. By mid-2014, the cutter embarked on its first major deployment to the Eastern Pacific under U.S. Southern Command, supporting maritime interdiction efforts.

Counter-Narcotics Interdictions

During its April to August 2015 deployment in the Eastern , the USCGC Stratton conducted eight counter-narcotics s, including the seizure of two self-propelled semi-submersibles (SPSS), marking the first time a cutter interdicted two such vessels in a single patrol. On July 18, 2015, Stratton's boarding team seized approximately 12,000 pounds (5.4 metric tons) of from one SPSS in , the largest such in history at the time, with an estimated wholesale value of $181 million; the vessel later sank while under tow, leaving an additional 4,000 pounds aboard. A second SPSS followed shortly after, contributing to Stratton's overall haul of over 66,000 pounds (33 metric tons) of offloaded in on August 10, 2015, valued at more than $1 billion. In 2017, Stratton executed 11 drug seizures during an Eastern Pacific patrol, with its onboard small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) providing critical surveillance support for five of them. The crew seized more than 55,000 pounds of and a smaller quantity of , offloaded in on September 20, 2017, as part of a multi-cutter operation totaling 50,550 pounds valued at $679.3 million; these actions supported the Coast Guard's fiscal year record of 455,034 pounds of interdicted service-wide. Stratton continued counter-narcotics operations into 2020 with a 94-day Eastern Pacific patrol concluding on June 29, 2020, during which it seized approximately 6,000 pounds of valued at $113 million, leveraging advanced capabilities including sUAS and (HITRON) support. These interdictions primarily targeted go-fast vessels and low-profile smuggling craft, with Stratton's endurance and sensor suite enabling persistent surveillance and rapid response in coordination with interagency partners.

Pacific Maritime Security Operations

In 2025, USCGC Stratton undertook a 134-day patrol in the Western Pacific, departing from on May 15 under operational control of and the U.S. 7th Fleet, focusing on with regional partners to promote a rules-based . The deployment emphasized theater , including visits, exercises, and at-sea engagements to enhance and interoperability among allies. Stratton conducted bilateral maritime law enforcement operations with the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) , embarking three RMI officers and executing two successful boardings to enforce fisheries regulations and protect under bilateral agreements. In the Philippines, the cutter participated in joint operations with the U.S. Maritime Security Response Team West in , including in-port engagements and training to bolster regional capabilities. The vessel led the first trilateral operations with the and near , , from June 16 to 20, involving demonstrations of unmanned aerial systems like the ScanEagle and coordinated at-sea maneuvers to improve joint maritime governance and response proficiency. These efforts reinforced partnerships amid shared interests in countering illegal fishing and ensuring . Stratton also completed a historic "Quad Sail" multinational transit with representatives from the , , and , arriving in on July 3 after exercises aimed at strengthening Indo-Pacific maritime cooperation and safety. Additional engagements included a visit to Korea for search-and-rescue exercises and facility tours with the , further solidifying U.S. alliances in the region. The patrol concluded with Stratton's return to Base Alameda on July 31, having advanced collective without reported interdictions or major incidents.

Recent Deployments and Technological Integrations

In May 2025, USCGC Stratton embarked on a 134-day in the Western Pacific and regions, departing on May 15 as part of operations under U.S. 7th Fleet's , the Navy's largest surface force in the area. The deployment emphasized cooperation, beginning with the ship's first international port call in , , on May 27, where it hosted engagements with Philippine authorities and U.S. Maritime Security Response Team West. The patrol featured multilateral exercises, including the first-ever trilateral at-sea operations with the and near , , from June 16 to June 20, focusing on search-and-rescue, communications, and . Stratton also participated in the inaugural Quad Sail, a joint coast guard transit involving the , , , and , transiting from to and concluding in on July 2 to enhance regional interoperability against illicit maritime activities such as . Additional bilateral law enforcement actions occurred with the Republic of the Sea , embarking officers for boardings that resulted in two successful interdictions. The cutter returned to Base , on July 31, 2025, after logging over 30,000 nautical miles and strengthening alliances amid heightened great-power competition in the Pacific. During this deployment, Stratton demonstrated integration of advanced command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems inherent to the Legend-class design, enabling real-time data sharing with partner forces and supporting multi-domain operations. The ship employed small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) for enhanced maritime surveillance, a capability refined through prior testing on National Security Cutters and applied operationally to detect and monitor potential threats like illegal fishing vessels, providing persistent overhead reconnaissance without risking crewed assets. These integrations, including sUAS launch-and-recovery from the cutter's deck, extended the ship's sensor reach and informed tactical decisions during joint exercises, aligning with broader Coast Guard efforts to incorporate unmanned systems for contested maritime environments.

Incidents, Maintenance, and Program Challenges

Hull Integrity Issues

In April 2012, approximately one month after commissioning on March 31, USCGC Stratton experienced hull perforations while operating off the coast of , including three pinholes and one hole roughly the size of a , accompanied by spots of on the hull plating. These defects led to water ingress, prompting an unscheduled emergency drydock in 2012 to address the hull failure. Temporary patches were applied at sea to maintain seaworthiness, with permanent repairs requiring 4-6 weeks in drydock; the cause of the perforations remained undetermined and was not attributed to a systemic design flaw, as no similar issues appeared on sister ships. These early hull problems occurred amid broader concerns for the Legend-class regarding long-term in high-stress areas, leading to structural modifications on Stratton that added reinforcements to enhance strength for a 30-year under demanding deployment cycles of up to 230 days per year in regions like the and . The enhancements, which increased costs by approximately $15 million, aimed to mitigate risks of weld cracking over the cutters' lifespan. Inspections confirmed these issues were isolated to early construction phases rather than inherent material weaknesses. In 2013, an Engineering Analysis Board investigated an unusual corrosion pattern observed on Stratton's hull, determining it resulted from localized damage to the below-waterline coating during welding operations, compounded by an underprotected cathodic system and stray current effects. Unlike the perforations, this corrosion was not indicative of class-wide vulnerabilities, as surveys of USCGC Bertholf and USCGC Waesche found no comparable damage; repairs were completed by March 2013, restoring full operational capability. The board recommended enhanced training on cathodic protection maintenance and restrictions on welding near wetted hull surfaces to prevent recurrence. Subsequent hull structure monitoring systems installed on Legend-class cutters, including strain gauges for global load effects, have supported ongoing assessments of Stratton's integrity during operations, confirming no propagation of early defects post-repairs. These incidents highlighted initial gaps in the Cutter program but were resolved without compromising the vessel's core structural design or long-term deployability. In July 2014, as the USCGC Stratton prepared to depart for its inaugural Eastern Pacific deployment, the cutter experienced a failure, causing it to drift uncontrollably from the pier into the busy harbor. The crew immediately sounded three short blasts from the whistle to signal an and alert nearby vessels, while the department worked to restore power. Engineering teams quickly regained propulsion, preventing any collision or further drift, with no reported injuries to personnel or damage to the vessel or infrastructure. The incident, attributed to an operational startup issue rather than , did not delay the deployment, allowing Stratton to proceed with counter-narcotics and missions. Subsequent deployments, including extended patrols in the , Western Pacific, and regions through 2025, have not resulted in publicly reported mishaps involving propulsion loss, collisions, groundings, or significant equipment failures during at-sea operations.
