Abstract:
An accelerated Deepwater program would provide better assets not just for catastrophic disaster response, but also for the full range of Coast Guard missions. Fully funding Deepwater this year and for the next nine years should be a budget priority to ensure that the transformation continues and that America does not leave the Coast Guard with an inadequate fleet.
