Lol. It would probably cost more to “derate” the ship than to build a new one for the USCG.

Not that it isn’t a good idea. But the Pentagon will never allow it. Too many retirement jobs at risk if the current USCG contracts are voided. Plus years in court and who knows what else the bureaucracy will throw in the way.
