EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Dassault-Breguet HU-25B Guardian 2111 (MSN 413), a vital asset in the United States Coast Guard (USCG) fleet stationed at CGAS Corpus Christi. The HU-25B Guardian is a versatile long-range maritime patrol aircraft, primarily used for search and rescue, drug interdiction, and environmental protection missions. The image captures the intricate details of this aeroplane's distinctive design, with its distinctive red and white livery, large propellers, and the distinctive hump housing the search radar. The Guardian's powerful engines and robust construction make it an indispensable tool for the USCG in safeguarding the nation's coastlines and waterways. Sadly, this particular HU-25B, 2111, is no longer in service. It was retired and sunk as an artificial reef off the coast of North Carolina on May 3, 2006. The Hulk, as it came to be known, now serves as a habitat for marine life and a popular diving destination. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the Guardian's vital role in USCG aviation and transportation, as well as the cyclical nature of military technology. The Dassault-Breguet HU-25B Guardian 2111 may no longer be in the skies, but its legacy lives on through the countless lives it saved and the memories it created during its service years.
