In an effort to help Ukraine better protect its I coastline, waterways and ports, the U.S. is providing the country with a range of defense equipment, including 23 welded-aluminum military vessels built by Louisiana-based MetalShark. In June it was announced that six of the Navy's new 40 PB (patrol boat) maritime combat vessels would be sent to Ukraine as part of a $450 million security assistance package. Approximately 300 women and men arrived at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., June 27 to start Day One of their training as part of the incoming class of 2026. According to current estimates, about 43% of the class are women, the most in an incoming class ever, and 38% are from under-represented minority groups. |
