Product Description

The United States Coast Guard has policed the nation's waters since the 1790s. From the first official vessels of the U.S. Government to today's specialized lifesaving craft, the ships of the Guard have played a vital role in maritime history. This in-depth program goes aboard some of the many craft employed by the Coast Guard, from the small boats used for shoreline rescue operations to the deep-sea patrol ships that form the vanguard in America's war against drugs. See dramatic footage of real-life search and rescue operations, and hear incredible stories of life-and-death missions from Coast Guard sailors and officers. And trace the evolution of the Guards' ships from the earliest Revenue Cutters to the myriad vessels of the modern force.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great overview of the history and ships of the Coast Guard, September 5, 1999
By A Customer
As with all of the "Great Ships" series this is a great overview of a perticular group of ships.

The video presents the history of the coast guard including the USLSS and the Revenue Cutter Service to the present day cutters and boats. I would recommend this title to anyone interested in the Coast guard or military history

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Really Great., February 5, 2008
By Maurice L. Wymore (Colorado Rocky Mountains) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Coast Guard ships are on duty in all sizes; up to 400-foot plus lengths. This DVD refers only to those up to 110 feet. Incomplete inventory of what the USCG actually sails.
