"The U.S. Coast Guard has long served this maritime nation in important and often vital ways, and has long been a recurring topic in the Naval Institute's open forum. Life-saving, ice-breaking, buoy-tending, and homeland security are just a few of the many functions of this diminutive service's mandated responsibilities."--Provided by publisher.
