Welcome aboard the USCGC Kimball (WMSL-756)

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Kimball (WMSL-756) is a 418-foot Legend-class National Security cutter (NSC) homeported in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Commissioned in 2019, Kimball is the Coast Guard's seventh national security cutter.

The Legend class are the largest and most technologically sophisticated cutters in the Coast Guard's white-hull fleet. Legend-class cutters can operate in the most demanding open ocean environments, including the Bering Sea's hazardous fisheries and the Southern Pacific's vast approaches, where much of the American narcotics trafficking occurs. With robust command, control, communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment, stern boat launch and aviation facilities, as well as long-endurance station keeping, National security cutters are afloat operational-level headquarters for complex law enforcement and national security missions involving multiple Coast Guard and partner agency participation.
