Terrell Horne III was a Senior Chief Petty Officer with the United States Coast Guard, who was killed in the line of duty while intercepting smugglers, on December 2, 2012.〔〔 Horne had fourteen years service in the Coast Guard and was second in command of the Marine Protector class cutter USCGC ''Halibut'' on the night he was killed in action.〔 He was aboard the ''Halibuts'' pursuit boat when it was sent to intercept the smugglers. When they were ordered to heave to, the smugglers rammed Horne's boat and his head was fatally struck by their propeller.〔〔 Horne is credited with pushing the coxswain out of the path of danger at the cost of his own life.〔 On July 30, 2014, the Coast Guard Commandant, Paul Zukunft, announced that the Coast Guard would name a Sentinel class cutter after Horne. All of the cutters will be named after members of the Coast Guard, or one of its precursors, who were recognized as heroes.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terrell Horne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
