摘要：	With a crowd of more than 3,000 present, Panama City, Fla.-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group (ESG) and the U.S. Coast Guard christened and launched the cutter Argus, the first Heritage-class Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), on October 27. Adm. Linda Fagan, commandant of the Coast Guard, delivered the keynote address, while retired Capt. Beverly Kelley served as ship sponsor. Fagan is the first woman to serve as commandant of the Coast Guard, while Kelley was the first woman to command a U.S. military vessel. Addressing the crowd gathered for the event, ESG CEO Joey D'ls-ernia called the launch of the Argus "a significant moment in the mari- time history of our great nation." He also described it as an important accomplishment for the Panama City community. D'Isernia praised his team and the surrounding community for their strength and resolve, particularly in the face of recent storms, like Category 5 Hurricane Michael that hit the area in 2018. "This vessel is a testament to the grit and determination that defines our community," he said. "It is a symbol of resilience, a symbol of commu- nity and a symbol of faith."
