USLSS Station Rockaway Point, NY

1883  The sloop Madge Schults capsized as she was passing in through Rockaway Inlet, about half a mile distant from the Rockaway Point Station (Third District).  The only crewman of the sloop clung to the bottom of his craft and made signals for help.  They were seen by the lookout at the station and the life-saving crew went off in their boat.  He was taken from the water and landed on Barren Island.

1944  The Coast Guard-manned frigate USS Rockford and the Navy minesweeper USS Ardent attacked and sank the Japanese Navy submarine I-12 mid-way between Hawaii and California.  There were no survivors.  In sinking I-12, Ardent and Rockford unwittingly avenged the atrocity I-12 had perpetrated on October 30, 1944 when, after sinking the Liberty Ship John A. Johnson, the submarine rammed and sank the lifeboats and rafts and then machine-gunned the 70 survivors.

2014  The first Alenia C-27J to complete the Coast Guard’s regeneration process arrived at the C-27J Asset Project Office in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where it was to be used to train and qualify Coast Guard aircrew and maintenance personnel, as well as develop flight and maintenance procedures for Coast Guard-specific mission profiles.  Ultimately the aircraft would receive the equipment and systems needed to perform the full spectrum of Coast Guard missions.
