The US Coast Guard (USCG) has introduced into service its first Legend-class National Security Cutter (NSC) to be homeported on the Atlantic coast. Fourth-in-class USCGC Hamilton (WMSL 753) was commissioned on 6 December in its home port of Charleston, South Carolina. The 127.4 m (418 ft) long cutter is expected to deploy on its first mission in 2015 - most likely on a maritime law enforcement mission in the Western Hemisphere, according to the USCG.
