CGC CROCODILE
recently wrapped up a 9 day Key West patrol in which CROCODILE served on the
front lines in the nation's fight against illegal drug and human trafficking.
Although the trip was all business, the crew did find one day to explore the
historical Fort Jefferson which is located on Tortugas National Park. Fort
Jefferson is a civil war era fort constructed of brick and includes several
cannons and a moat that encompasses the entire fort. Tortugas National park is
located approximately 70 NM west of Key West. As I currently type this story,
CGC CROCODILE is back underway for another operational patrol. My wife and I
certainly enjoyed and appreciate the dinner we attended last week in which the
retired D7 Admiral gave a very informative and educational brief on the
happenings in District 7. As always we on board the CROCODILE appreciate all
you all do for us on a daily basis and can't thank you enough for your
wonderful support.
Semper Paratus.
Thank you,
BMCS Buddy Gilbert
