US Coast Guard cutter Munro transits the Taiwan Strait with US Navy destroyer USS Kidd in August. US Navy

A recent discussion with frequent contributor Peter Ong, lead to Peter pointing to “The National Fleet Plan.”

It was an important publication for the Coast Guard and its interface with the Navy. It portended the FRCs in Guam and WMECs in Pensacola. Among other things, it listed equipment to be included in cutter classes, much of it supplied by the Navy (p.24). I did a post on it.

Trouble is, while much of the information is probably still accurate, it was published in August 2015. Maybe it is time for new edition.
