USCGC ''Stratton'' (WMSL-752) is the third Legend-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard. It is the first "white hull" cutter named after a woman since the 1980s (the USCGC ''Harriet Lane'' was launched in 1984). ''Stratton'' is named for Coast Guard Captain Dorothy C. Stratton (1899–2006). Stratton served as director of the SPARS, the Coast Guard Women's Reserve during World War II. Construction began in 2008 by Northrop Grumman's Ship System Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The keel was laid on July 20, 2009. The cutter's sponsor is Michelle Obama, who is the first First Lady to sponsor a Coast Guard cutter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First Lady Leaves Her Mark on Future USCGC Stratton )〕 On July 23, 2010 Michelle Obama christened the cutter in a ceremony at the ship builder's. In August 2011, the ''Stratton'' completed sea trials. On September 2, 2011 the ''Stratton'' was acquired by the Coast Guard. On December 19, 2011 ''Stratton'' arrived in San Francisco, pier 27, for its inaugural homecoming visit to the Bay area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Inaugural homecoming for Coast Guard's third National Security Cutter )〕 On March 31, 2012, the ''Stratton'' was officially commissioned by the Coast Guard in Alameda, California, with First Lady Michelle Obama in attendance. In April 2012, the crew of the ''Stratton'' discovered four holes in the hull and the ship was sent to drydock to have these repaired. On July 18, 2015, the ''Stratton'' intercepted a semi-submerisible loaded with approximately 16,000 pounds of cocaine. ''Stratton'' was able to offload more than 12,000 pounds worth an estimated $181 million before the craft sank. It is estimated to be the largest such seizure of its kind. On August 10, 2015 the "Stratton" intercepted a vessel and crew with more than 66,000 pounds of cocaine worth $1.01 billion wholesale seized in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. == See also == * National Security Cutter * * * * Integrated Deepwater System Program 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 Stratton (WMSL-752)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
