Fox news just reported that the coast guard seized a "drug sub" that contained $187 million in illegal drugs. WooHoo, Get'em Coast Guard!
A couple months back, we were invited to the retirement ceremony of the hubby of a good friend of mine - it was also the Change of Command ceremony, as he was the master of the USCGC Healy.

Now, I don't think those waters are all that shallow - and where they ARE, one of the Healy's stated missions is in mapping and delineation of the arctic ocean floor, for future resource development - and guess who doesn't much like us (as in the USA) staking claim to our own seafloor resources - RIghto, Mother Russia.
So, y'all just go right ahead and have your jollies at the Coasties - I for one will ALWAYS have a ton of respect for this branch of service. Anybody who's ever had a real emergency in the water knows just how good they are.
Patting down the hair that was sticking up......
