The addition of this historic vessel marks a significant milestone in the Coast Guard’s efforts to bolster their search and rescue capabilities,” said Michael Huntley, Senior Vice President of UIC Government Services.Members of the Savaaq family were present for the dedication ceremony, traveling into town to witness the event.
