Anyone else wondering why US Coast Guard vessels are being deployed in the hot spots of the Black Sea and the Persian Gulf?

Definitely is bizarre. Nearest US Coast is about 5000 miles away.

I guess they gave it to Coast Guard because of manpower and equipment shortage in the regular Navy?

The U.S. Coast Guard operates under the Department of Homeland Security in PEACETIME. Why is no one in congress asking about this deployment?
