The 6th image is of the Cold War, USCGC Mellon, Harpoon Missile, 1990. CGC MELLON received the Coast Guard Unit Commendation Medal from the 6th of February, 1989, to the 27th of February, 1990, for her successful execution of several military readiness missions. Perhaps the most noteworthy of these efforts was her successful test firing of a Harpoon anti-ship missile. CGC MELLON was the only Coast Guard cutter to fire a HARPOON missile.
