Guantanamo Bay Gazfl T1 Vol Guantanamo Bay GAZfl T1 Vol. 56 No. 20 Friday, May 21, 1999 GUANTANAMO BAY - USCGC Eagle (WIX 327) was in Guantanamo Bay May 12 on Eagle rides wind into GTMO a routine training mission. Eagle is the only ac- tive commissioned sailing vessel in the U.S. mari- time services. It is one of five such training barques in the world. Its sister ships are Mirlea a i of Romania, Sagres II of Portugal, Gorch Fock of Germany and Tovarisch of Russia. Today's Eagle is the seventh in a long line of proud cutters to bear the name. It was built as a training vessel for the German Navy. It was awarded to the United States as reparations fol- lowing WWII. On May 15, 1946, it was com- missioned into the U.S. Coast Guard service as Eagle and sailed from Bremerhaven, Germany, to New London, Conn. Eagle serves as a seagoing classroom for ap- proximately 175 cadets and instructors from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. It is on the decks and rigging of Eagle that the young men and women of the academy get their first taste of salt air and life at sea. Working aloft they meet fear and learn to overcome it. The cadets handle more than 20,000 square feet of sail and five miles of rigging. Over 200 lines must be coordinated during a major ship maneuver, so cadets must learn the name and function of each.

On Friday, July 22, 2016, the only active commissioned sailing vessel “USCG Cutter Eagle” is scheduled to arrive at approximately 11:00am in Downtown Norfolk, docking at Otter Berth next to the future Waterside District. The ship will depart at approximately 10:00am on Monday, July 25, 2016. Arrival and departure times are approximate and are subject to change due inclement weather. Built in Germany in 1936 and taken as reparation by the United States at the close of World War II, the Eagle is the largest tall ship flying the Stars and Stripes. The majestic sailing ship, the Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE provides the U.S. Coast Guard Academy cadets and officer candidates with their first taste of sea and salt air. The Eagle's homeport of New London, Conn., on the Thames River neighbors the U. S. Coast Guard Academy. The Eagle's location and design supports its primary mission of training cadets and officer candidates, offering a strong foundation of seamanship and knowledge to up to 150 cadets or officer candidates at a time. Aboard America’s Tall Ship, trainees are exposed to the real world workings of America’s only active duty square-rigger, as they fulfill duties normally executed by junior officers or junior enlisted persons.

The dock has floating concrete piers on the starboard side and stern with another boat on the port side.

A Phase 6 designation indicates that a global pandemic is underway. More than 70 countries are now reporting cases of human infection with H1N1 flu. The WHO designation of a pandemic alert Phase 6 reflects the fact that there are now ongoing community level outbreaks in multiple parts of the world. WHO's decision to raise the pandemic alert level to Phase 6 is a reflection of the spread of the virus, not the severity [Source: www.cdc.gov]. WHO currently assesses the severity of the H1N1 virus as moderate. The federal government is mounting an aggressive response to the H1N1 flu outbreak. In fact, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as the lead federal agency for a declared public health emergency, is committing funds for the production of a potential H1N1 vaccine. Although a H1N1 vaccine is not currently available, I and my staff, along with the Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security & Stewardship (CG-5) and Director of Response Policy (CG-53), will continue to monitor the situation and provide guidance to educate and safeguard Coast Guard personnel.
