The USCGC ''Roanoke Island'' is the 46th Island class cutter to be commissioned.〔 She was commissioned in Homer, Alaska, on February 7, 1992. Five other Island Class cutters are based in Alaska.〔 Her primary missions include ''"search and rescue, fisheries enforcement and homeland security."''〔 In 2010 the ''Roanoke'' rescued a fishing vessel called ''Wahoo'', when it became disable during bad weather near Pearl Island.〔 On October 25, 2012, following an 135-day refit in a drydock in Ketchikan, ''Coast Guard Alaska'' explained the refit would allow the vessel to remain service until she was replaced by a new Sentinel class cutter.〔 Nevertheless, the ''Homer News'' reported that the ''Roanoke'' would leave Homer by the end of June, 2015, for her decommissioning in Baltimore, Maryland.〔〔 A sister ship, the ''Sapelo'', previously stationed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, will replace her. The ''Sapelo'' will be freed up as the Island class cutters in San Juan are replaced by new Sentinel-class cutters. ==Decommissioning== On June 4, 2015, ROANOKE ISLAND was decommissioned at a ceremony held in homeport of Homer, Alaska. The ship was then transferred to the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, Maryland for disposal.〔http://alaska.coastguard.dodlive.mil/2015/06/roanoke-island-rendezvous-with-retirement/〕 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「USCGC Roanoke Island (WPB-1346)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
