Welcome aboard to the CGC HARRIET LANE
(WMEC 903). USCGC HARRIET LANE is a multi-mission 270-foot medium-endurance cutter home-ported at
Base Support Unit Portsmouth, VA. CGC HARRIET LANE is responsible for
a variety of Coast Guard missions, including: Search and Rescue; Enforcement
of Laws and Treaties; Maritime Defense; and Protection of the Marine
Environment.
The versatility of the Famous class cutter makes it a cost effective
platform in carrying out national objectives. CGC HARRIET LANE’s modern
command, control, and communications capabilities, including satellite
communications, make the cutter an important asset for long range offshore
missions. CGC HARRIET LANE can effectively coordinate the efforts of
multiple ships and aircraft while conducting missions over large areas of
ocean.
