Charleston cutter Dallas shields shipping from the Mediterranean
The 378 foot Coast Guard cutter Dallas with a 175 crew left Charleston February 8 for drug patrols and training. It has joined the U S Sixth Fleet in the eastern Mediterranean escorting military supply ships near the Strait of Gibraltar and may stay beyond six weeks, possibly into August, as it supports operations against threats and frees another vessel to join the battle.

House leaders say bipartisanship supports the move to spur economic development though opposition warns it could neglect public accountability and unfairly benefit the three universities.
