Coast Guard cutters arrive at Bahrain homeport
Coast Guard fast response cutters (FRCs) Charles Moulthrope and Robert Goldman arrived at their new homeport of Manama, Bahrain, May 25. They are the first two of six FRCs to be assigned to Patrol Forces Southwest Asia (PATFORSWA). Additional cutters are planned for arrival in 2022 and 2023. The FRCs will replace the existing Coast Guard Island-class patrol boats Aquidneck and Adak.
