USCGC ALERT (WMEC-630)
Astoria, Oregon
The ALERT is always ready to serve her country. Whether it's Law Enforcement, Drug Interdiction, Damage Control, Helicopter Operations, Fisheries Enforcement, Search and Rescue, or Marine safety, the USCGC Alert is Semper Paratus!
ALERT's primary missions are reflected by her motto, "Rescue, Enforce, Defend." We patrol the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone to protect living marine resources from foreign fishing interests and board domestic fishing vessels to enforce federal fisheries and vessel safety laws. ALERT also enforces laws regarding illegal immigration and contraband.
ALERT is always prepared to respond to search and rescue incidents to protect life and property at sea. Coast Guard missions will take ALERT all over the Northern Pacific Ocean, from the coastal seas of Washington and Oregon to the warm waters off Central America.
