Bollinger Shipyards Inc. has delivered its fourth fast-response cutter to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Although the crew could see the Miami skyline, the cutter stayed a few miles offshore to rendezvous with another Coast Guard boat to pick up two VIPs: Rear Admiral William Baumgartner and U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston.
Engineman First Class Robert J. Yered (USCG) is another port security ELD hero in Vietname. EN1 Yered responded to a VC attack in the port waters of Cat Lai in February 1968. A barge containing mortar ammunition was burning. EN1 Yered climbed into the burning barge armed with a water hose, threw burning shells overboard, and put out the fires despite the risk of explosion. Militar police chased the VC away from the surrounding marches, and a U.S. Army sergeant came to Yered's assistance. The U.S. Army later awarded Petty Officer Robert J. Yered a Silver Star.
Congresswoman Debbie W. Schultz visited the Coast Guard's fourth Sentinel Class patrol boat as it arrived at its homeport at Coast Guard Sector Miami Beach on Saturday.
Crews arrived about five minutes later and rescued all three boaters, who were not injured, officials said. The owner plans to return to the scene with commercial salvage to recover the 60-foot boat.
The first six FRCs for District 7 will be homeported in Miami; the next six in Key West; and the remaining six in Puerto Rico.
The Coast Guard Cutter Robert Yered has been diverted to the area to assist with search and rescue efforts if necessary.
Although the crew could see the Miami skyline, the cutter stayed a few miles offshore to rendezvous with another Coast Guard boat to pick up two VIPs: Rear Admiral William Baumgartner and U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston.
The boat, piloted by Valdés, is launched from a rear platform – released quickly as if it were a rocket leaving a spaceship. Once it splashes into the water, it operates on its own power like a fast boat.
Robert Yered signed up for the Coast Guard at 17, George Yered remembers. He served 21 years and attained the highest rank as a non-commissioned officer before retiring and moving back to Millis with his wife and two children.
"Having a Coast Guard hero as our ship's namesake gives her an identity. The crew has learned about Robert Yered and how he served his shipmates and nation," said Petty Officer 1st Class Jeffrey Foster. As the crew honors the ship's namesake, they look to the future and the potential missions they will be a part of aboard the new generation in a long history of Coast Guard patrol boats.
