PASCAGOULA, Miss. – The U.S. Coast Guard’s newest Legend-class national security cutter, Calhoun (WMSL 759), departed from HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding division on Nov. 19.
Calhoun is scheduled for commissioning in 2024 and will be homeported in Charleston, S.C., joining cutters Hamilton, James and Stone.
Ingalls has delivered 10 Legend-class national security cutters to the Coast Guard, including Calhoun and is continuing construction on the final ship in the class, Friedman (WMSL 760).
For more than two decades, Ingalls Shipbuilding has designed and built the CG’s Legend-class national security cutters.
NSC 10 is named to honor Charles L. Calhoun, the first Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard. (HII 11/21/23)
