Episode Synopsis

A look at one of Astoria's old hometown ships: where is the USCGC Alert now?
Earlier this year, the USCGC Alert, a Coast Guard ship that had been in Astoria for decades, was reassigned and replaced by a brand new cutter, the USCGC David Duren, which is now in Astoria.
Today we take a look at where the Alert is now... she's got a new home on the East Coast (a region she was first assigned to over 50 years ago as a new ship), working as an active duty cutter in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
