Coast Guard Barque Eagle returns to New London after 4-month deployment
Coast Guard Academy Cadets Allison Nystrom and Laila Baameaur smile after completing a damage control exercise held on board USCGC Eagle (WIX 327), June 29, 2023, while underway in the Atlantic Ocean. Eagle, originally operated by the pre-World War II German navy and later taken as a war reparation by the United States, is now a training ship where U.S. Coast Guard cadets and officer candidates learn leadership and practical seamanship skills.
