Joint Task Force Guantanamo's Maritime Security Detachment escorted the USCGC Eagle, also known as the Barque Eagle, out of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay after a brief port call, June 26. The 295-foot Barque Eagle is the flagship of the Coast Guard and serves as a training vessel for cadets at the Coast Guard Academy and candidates from the Officer Candidate School. The Eagle is the only active-duty sailing vessel in America's military, and one of only two commissioned sailing vessels, along with the USS Constitution.
