Its amazing that the CG can do what it does, given the age of its equipment.

In addition to its new security duties, the Coast Guard now has 11 vessels in European and Middle Eastern waterways to provide increased security for the oil industry.
Interesting.

CG will definitely need its hardware in shape to carry out the new inspection program. Is the CG the 7th strongest Navy in the world?

My father was a Machinist Mate 1st Class in the Navy during WWII, and used to joke about how somebody had to be over 6' tall to join the Coast Guard in case the boat sank so they could wade ashore. He was a hoot and I sure do miss him.
We lived on Staten Island NY and I remember the pill boxes that were set up on the beach.
He would be proud of all of our military, and that would include the Coast Gaurd today.
And may God bless our President.

He said more than 20 of the Coast Guard's 55 110-foot patrol boats — the workhorses of the fleet — have had their hulls breached over the past 2 1/2 years. I don't like to have the Government spending my money, but I'd be much happier if they spent it on a new CG fleet than on many of the other things that seem to claim their attention.

Trust me, speaking as a Coastie Vet (24 years service); we are the red-headed stepchild when it comes to having a good budget that covers our needed eqpt and gets our mission accomplished despite the scant resources.
When i was stationed in Portsmouth, VA back in 85-88, the USCGC TANEY was still active and would tie up alongside us. The TANEY, btw, survived Pearl Harbor, and had been built back in the '30's.

They do have some force multiplication, using the Auxillary.
But, they do need their fleet to be upgraded.
