I am honored to announce Admiral Karl Schultz has selected the name for the Coast Guard’s 10th National Security Cutter.

This new cutter will carry the namesake of the FIRST Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard - Charles L. Calhoun.

MCPOCG #1 was selected for his courageous service in WWII, Vietnam and for establishing the MCPOCG role in 1969.
