USCGC Terrell Horne (WPC-1131) is the United States Coast Guard's 24th Sentinel-class cutter. She is the third of four of her class to be homeported in Long Beach, California.[1]

Operational history

[edit | edit source]

In October 2023, Terrell Horne completed the first high-seas boarding and inspection patrol off the coast of Peru, intended to combat illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing in the South Pacific as part of Operation Southern Shield. During this, she assisted in a search and rescue, and brought an injured fisherman back to shore for treatment.[5]

Namesake

[edit | edit source]

Like her sisters, she is named after a Coast Guard who distinguished themselves in the line of duty. She is named after Terrell Horne, who was killed in December 2012 while intercepting smugglers, who intentionally rammed into the boat he and other Coast Guardsmen were on, fatally wounding him. He is credited with pushing another crew member to safety before being killed. [1][3]
