  She was delivered to the United States Coast Guard for a final evaluation and shakedown on December 10, 2013, and the vessel was commissioned on March 8, 2014.
context_section_description: On May 21, 2015, the Charles Sexton intercepted 117 undocumented migrants from the Dominican Republic from a dangerously overloaded boat.  93 men and 24 women were repatriated home.
  Charles Sexton joined in the search for the freighter El Faro, which disappeared during an October 2015 Hurricane Joaquin. 
  The cutter intercepted 39 Cuban refugees, for return to Cuba, in November 2015.  Three separate refugee craft were intercepted.
  In November, 2018, the Charles Sexton, and her sister ship, the William Trump, interdicted 36 Cuban migrants, and repatriated 35 of them to Cabañas, Cuba.  One migrant seemed to suffer from respiratory arrest. The onboard EMT treated the victim, who was then sent to a US port for further medical treatment.
