In 2018, the U.S. Coast Guard commissioned a Fast Response Cutter named for the first Coast Guardsman killed in action since the Vietnam War.
Nathan Bruckenthal, 25, a petty officer third class, died in the Persian Gulf in 2004. His sister told The Washington Post: “His pride [in the Coast Guard] was tremendous.''
Cutter Nathan Bruckenthal WPC-1128 is a member of the 154-foot Sentinel-class of Coast Guard vessels.
Bruckenthal and two Navy sailors lost their lives in a waterborne attack on an offshore oil terminal - a suicide bombing.
