Ferrel Cited for Homeland Security


Group standing on deck.

NOAA Ship FERREL officers and crew were cited for initiatives on behalf of homeland security. NOAA's LCDR James Meigs was presented with a plaque from LCDR Steve Pope, USCG. Last February, the FERREL crew participated in a transiting sea-to-port exercise with the U.S. Navy Coastal Warfare Group. FERREL crew monitored and coordinated events through simulated attempts to penetrate the two Navy craft escorting their ship. There were no successful boardings!
