All,
I just returned from a short paid vacation aboard a Coast Guard 210ft
Cutter. While aboard bored (we are the aviation support and spend our
time
sleeping, eating and flying in that order) I was wondering about the
mission
and roles of such a vessel and how they would work in the GZG verse.
Cutter is 210 ft long
Compliment 9-12 officers 60-70 enlisted
Armament 1 25mm cannon 2 .50 HMG
1 HH-65 Dolphin SSR Helicopter
1 RHI w 5 crew and GPMG
Our main threat is lightly armed fast smugglers and slow moving fishing
trawlers (they tend to think more of thier livelyhood than of the future
and
so have some tendency to ignore spawning aviodance, size rules).
I think of this as some sort of Customs type setup in GZG parleance.
Any ideas?
