As the Coast Guard’s mission heats up in the Arctic Ocean, the service is testing to see which boats it can use in the rough, icy waters. During the region’s brief summer, the Coast Guard sent the medium endurance cutter Alex Haley on patrol. For their 21 days above the Arctic Circle, the ship’s crew received the Coast Guard Arctic Service Medal on Nov. 20 in Kodiak, Alaska. They are the only medium endurance cutter in the fleet to have earned the medal. A hearty congratulations from Scoop Deck.
