- Petty Officer 1st Class, Victor Arcelay, damage controlman and crew member aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Active, a 210-foot medium endurance Reliance-class cutter homeported in Port Angeles, Wash., explains the effort required by crew members to keep a 52-year-old cutter fully mission-capable to conduct counter-narcotic patrols in the eastern Pacific Ocean, Thursday, May 17, 2018. Medium endurance cutters like the Active are scheduled for replacement by the Offshore Patrol Cutter, with construction of the first vessel slated to begin in 2018 and delivery of the first one scheduled for completion in 2021.

This is the realest interview I've seen from a sailor
DC1 was such an important role model for me while being on the Active. Amazing amazing man. Miss him as a friend.
How long where you in for??
Coast Guard and Navy it's the same for both, these are some hard working sailors.
This was inspiring
This doesn’t really put the CG in a good light.
Floating Paradise what do you mean?
It's not the Coast Guards fault. They've been asking for more funding for a long time and the Government doesn't want to offer up the money. In fact they had a request for a new Cutter that had funds ready to go and the funding was cut and re-diverted to Trumps Border Wall. So there you go.
