Coast Guard Cutter 16, an 83-foot wooden patrol boat assigned to Coast Guard Rescue Flotilla One, sits out of the water in Poole, England, in 1944. On D-Day, the crew of CGC-16 saved the lives of 126 Allied troops, more lives than any other vessel present that day. (U.S. Coast Guard photo)
1944 Cutters 83415 and 83477 assigned to Rescue Flotilla One wrecked off coast of Normandy, France during a storm – no lives were lost. This is the storm that wrecked the artificial harbor constructed by the Allies off the coast of Normandy.

One account; “The relatively small cutter could only hold about 20 wounded men at a time, and double that number were often taken aboard. But in one instance, 140 men shared 1,000 square feet. Casualties and unwounded survivors crammed the forecastle, pilot house, and engine room, and those incapable of going below lined the deck topside, side by side. Walking wounded were jammed into the tiny crew’s quarters and piled into bunks in three tiers of four.”

ector North Bend (AOR) encompasses 220 miles of shoreline extending from Pacific City, Oregon, south to the California border, west to the 50nm offshore, and east to the I-5 corridor.
2013 Coast Guard Group/Air Station North Bend, located out of North Bend, Oregon, was officially renamed Sector North Bend, “to match the Coast Guard standards of mission support and execution.” Group/Air Station North Bend was the final “legacy group in the Coast Guard to be transitioned under the multi-year sector modernization effort.”
