[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3210183, member: 5412"] I can testify to their tactical readiness, and their ability to protect our country. I've talked about this before. After 911 and the USS Cole attacks, a buddy and I pulled into Galveston Harbor in his cabin cruiser boat to meet our wives after a morning of fishing while they were shopping. Picked them up and headed back out going by a big cruise ship at harbor. We were 200' or so away from it and a Coast Guard cutter with full steam ahead intercepted us with the deck gun and a half dozen sailors pointing M-16's at us over the rail of the cutter. We got a pretty good a$$ chewing from a crewman on the cutter before getting released to proceed. Pretty scary looking down those muzzles. The legal distance is 500' in that harbor and we didn't see the buoys. Frankly didn't know the new rule. [/QUOTE]
