CIMSEC has issued a call for articles regarding the CNO’s recently issued “Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority” the document does not mention the Coast Guard, but I think we have a part to play.
This is a good opportunity for some of those who follow this blog to try your hand at writing for a professional readership.

Knew this was coming. This will be the Vietnamese Coast Guard’s second Hamilton class cutter.
Midgett is to be decommissioned March 26. (I was XO on Midgett, so “its personnel.”)
Just think the Midgett will be in good hands with Vietnam instead of the Philippines or even worse Nigeria
