Last update: 8 hours agoCoast Guard Expansion: The U.S. Coast Guard commissioned the new fast response cutter USCGC Vincent Danz in New York—named for a 9/11 hero—and it’s expected to arrive on Guam this summer, adding to the service’s growing presence in the region. Tourism Pressure: Guam’s visitor numbers took another hit: April arrivals fell 28% year-over-year, with South Korea down 46.1% and Japan down 18.7%, as fuel costs and lingering typhoon impacts weigh on airlift and demand. Defense & Diplomacy: South Korea’s Dosan Ahn Changho submarine completed a historic trans-Pacific voyage to Canada, with Guam and Hawaii listed as logistical stops—another reminder of how the island sits inside major allied military routes. Local Culture & Community: Guam is also moving on culture and sports—recruitment is open for the relaunched Guam National Indigenous Performing Arts Academy, and Guam will host the EAFF E-1 Women’s Football Championship preliminary competition in June.
