Coast Guard Cutters decommissioned in Seward
The US Coast Guard has decommissioned the 'Mustang (WPB 1310)' during a ceremony in Seward on April 15, 2025. Capt. Christopher Culpepper, the commander of Coast Guard Sector Western Alaska & U.S. Arctic, presided over the ceremony honoring the nearly 40 years of service of the 'Mustang' and its crews. Commissioned on Aug 29, 1986, the 'Mustang' was the 10th Island-Class cutter to join the fleet. She has been stationed in Seward since it was commissioned, and its crews have since responded to over 200 SAR cases and completed over 2000 law enforcement sorties. The Coast Guard is replacing the aging Island-Class patrol boats with Sentinel-Class Fast Response Cutters (FRCs) which feature enhanced capability to meet service needs. There are currently four FRC's homeported in Alaska, with two more scheduled for delivery in the near future.
