What country do USCGC Campbell and TWA Flight 800 have in common?
USCGC Campbell (WMEC-909) USCGC "Campbell" (WMEC-909) is a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter based at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. "Campbell" is the sixth Coast Guard Cutter to bear the name and is assigned to the Atlantic. The ship bears the distinction of having made some of the largest narcotics seizures in Coast Guard history as well as being the command ship for the TWA 800 recovery effort.
USCGC Pontchartrain (WHEC-70) USCGC "Pontchartrain" (WHEC-70) was an "Owasco" class high endurance cutter built for World War II service with the United States Coast Guard. The ship was commissioned just days before the end of the war and thus did not see combat action until the Vietnam war.
