Current and former Coast Guard Cutter Sherman crewmembers, family members and friends listen to Capt. Steven Whittrock, Sherman’s commanding officer, as he addresses audience members during the Sherman’s decommissioning ceremony in Honolulu, Mar. 29, 2018. New assets such as the National Security Cutters and Offshore Patrol Cutters and Fast-Response Cutters will replace the aging fleet of 378-foot High Endurance Cutters like the Sherman which served meritoriously in the Coast Guard for nearly 50 years.
