Yesterday, the USS Mohawk entered a second life as an artificial reef when it was sunk nearly 30 miles off the coast of Fort Meyers, Fla. Since a current Coast Guard cutter homeported in Key West, Fla. bears the same name, it seemed somehow fitting that Mohawk would find a new home in sub-tropical waters.]]> http://coastguard.dodlive.mil/2012/07/uss-mohawk-reaches-final-resting-place/feed/ 6 http://coastguard.dodlive.mil/2011/12/2011-video-of-the-year-day-9/ http://coastguard.dodlive.mil/2011/12/2011-video-of-the-year-day-9/#comments Fri, 30 Dec 2011 15:20:47 +0000 LT Stephanie Young http://coastguard.dodlive.mil/?p=22345 Thirteen miles northeast of the Big Island, Hawaii, a pilot makes a crash landing into the ocean and a Coast Guard aircrew is there to rescue him.
