| Summary/Abstract |
The officer corps of the U.S. Coast Guard, like that of the Navy, is organized around several operational communities. Response Ashore comprises officers who staff the service's 35 sectors and carry out the responsibilities of the captain of the port, search-and-rescue mission coordinator, federal on-scene coordinator, and federal maritime-security coordinator. They execute search and rescue, pollution response, maritime security, law enforcement, and all-hazards response, as well as overseeing the Coast Guard's small-boat stations and patrol boats.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 1907 President Theodore Roosevelt deployed a great white fleet of 16 modern battleships around the globe to demonstrate America's arrival in the world sea-power arena. The voyage heralded America's turn to "big stick" naval diplomacy, and the fleet's com-position reflected the premium on capital ships advocated by the 20th centaury's most influential sea-power theorist, Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan.

| Summary/Abstract |
Achieving maritime safety would entail ensuring that the laws and regulations which govern the operations of sea-borne craft are adhered to. The Indian Coast Guard has so far not been seen to play any role in this area. It has been the exclusive preserve of the Director General of Shipping who operates through the regional Maritime Marine Departments. The situation is quite different with the US Coast Guard which actively monitors this aspect in the US waters. The US Coast Guard boards vessels for wide ranging inspections including the conduct of safety drills. Vessels found deficient in any area are liable to be detained. Serious infringement can lead to imposition of penalties. They also keep a historic record of such inspections which classifies ships according to country of registry, the company to which she belongs and the result of inspections. When a higher than normal proportion of ships of a country or a particular company are found to be deficient, the rest of the ships of the country or company are highlighted for more intensive scrutiny.
