Welcome
We hope you are excited by the prospect of sailing on the newest major cutter in the fleet. As the plank-owner crew, we are honored to carry on CAPT Stratton's legacy and look forward to living up to her reputation. As we continue the work to bring STRATTON to full operational status, we are reminded of CAPT Stratton's greatest accomplishments which centered on the SPARs. Over the next year, we will complete various installations, training evolutions, operational testing and evaluations.
Mission
STRATTON's primary missions include Law Enforcement (Counter Narcotics and Living Marine Resources), Search and Rescue, Defense Operations and Homeland Security. We expect to reach a full operational capability in the spring of 2013. Between now and then, there will be underway Operational Test and Evaluation periods, an extended dockside period to complete the installation of new equipment, and an intensive Tailored Ship Training Availability to complete the work up cycle for deployments in 2013.
Common Destinations on Deployment
STRATTON is designed and fully capable of worldwide deployment in support of Homeland Security and Combatant Commander objectives. Regular Pacific Theatre port calls include Los Angeles, San Diego, Kodiak, and Honolulu as well as Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
