At US Coast Guard Base San Pedro.

USCGC Forrest Rednour (WPC-1129) is the 29th Sentinel-class cutter built for the United States Coast Guard. Commissioned November 8, 2018. She was the first of the four vessels of her class to be home-ported in San Pedro, California.
Each FRC is named for an enlisted Coast Guard hero who distinguished him or herself in the line of duty. Rednour, a second-class petty officer, was serving on the USCGC Escanaba (WPG-77) in the north Atlantic on the night of Feb. 3, 1943, when the German submarine U-223 attacked a U.S. supply convoy, including the torpedoed chartered troop-transport ship Dorchester. The Cutler, Ill.-born Rednour joined in rescue efforts over four hours and is credited with helping rescue 145 people. According to the Navy and Marine Corps Medal he received for “heroic conduct” that day: “Despite possible enemy submarine action, Rednour risked his life in the black and icy waters to aid in the rescue of unconscious and helpless survivors. Realizing the danger of being crushed between the rafts and the ship’s side or of being struck by a propeller blade if the engines backed, he swam in under the counter of the constantly maneuvering Escanaba and prevented many floating survivors from being caught in the suction of the screws, in one instance retrieving a loading raft. Rednour’s gallant and voluntary action in subjecting himself to pounding seas and bitter cold for nearly four hours contributed to the rescue of 145 persons and his courageous disregard for his own personal safety in a situation of grave peril was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.”
