Friday, March 21, 2025 was the decommissioning ceremony for the Homer-stationed USCG Cutter Naushon.

First commissioned on October 3, 1986, the Naushon has proudly served in the Coast Guard's Alaska maritime homeland security operations for nearly four decades and has been home-ported in Homer since June 2016.
