The multi-mission National Security Clutter
Article Abstract:
The 'Legend' class National Security Cutter (NSC) is designed to be the flagship of the US Coast Guard's fleet, capable of executing the most challenging maritime security missions and being supportive of a share Coast Guard-Navy commitment to the mission requirements of the joint US combatant commanders. The NSC would enable the Coat Guard to screen and target vessels faster, more safely, and reliably before they arrive in US waters, which would include conducting onboard verification through boardings, and, if necessary, taking enforcement-control actions.
