“We are honored and enthusiastic to call on the historic city of Turku. This visit is oriented to build on the decades-long partnership between the United States and Finland,” said Capt. Matthew Brown, commanding officer of USCGC Hamilton (WMSL 753). “The U.S. Coast Guard’s collaboration with the Finnish Border Guard advances our shared ambitions…in the Baltic Sea.”

This deployment builds upon NAVEUR’s ongoing mission of reassuring the NATO Alliance and advancing interoperability within the maritime domain and continues to hone the ship’s proficiency in the region. Hamilton previously deployed to European waters in 2021, where the cutter conducted maritime exercises with multiple NATO Allies and partners.
