MARITIME SECURITY
Comments (5)
Someone should contact Dan Sullivan in Congress about the idea to build additional national security cutter instead of the less capable OPC, then the navy would have more frigate sized vessels at it disposal in the next conflict. at least one of those NSC s could reside in alaska as an arctic security cutter alongside the Icebreakers when they are built mid decade, believe it or not there are currently no warships either USN or USCG stationed in Alaska, only the old and unarmed Research ship turned cutter USCG Healy, and she is in drydocked for major repairs.
I used to work for the Coast Guard years ago in accounting. Also I'm a spouse of a 30 years service of a deceased Coast Guard Warrent Officer. Well aware of the lack of funds all those years. Had the Congress kept the funding level as the other Services they wouldn't be so far behind today. Now we are paying for the lack of funds and caring. I remember those in congress didn't even know the U.S. Coast Guard was the oldest of the five Services. Now we need to really step and and take care of this Service now. We can no longer let them (Russia or China) take us over.
Linda Dean at 11:58 AMInstead of sending Billions to countries who probably will use it against us or giving $ to illegals, give it to the lowest paid bunch of guys on the planet. They have so many duties and not enough personnel. Come on Joe Biden, can you handle that.
Sonny at 2:53 PMGive them the money that went overseas recently, some of which will probably be used against us. Or, stop the illegals from coming in who are adding to our 31 trillion National Debt. The CG is the most overworked with the least sailors on the planet. You can do it Joe.

Give them what they need plus two or three new ice breakers. Load them up with plenty of drones of all types and numerous payloads. Also they need a Commissary in Mobile Alabama.
