SPECIAL REPORT: DEEPWATER AND THE U.S. COAST
GUARD
The U.S. Coast Guard’s Integrated Deepwater
Systems modernization program is in a state of flux. Originally drafted
in 1998, the Deepwater plan already has had to be revised because of post-9/11
homeland security requirements. The service’s new missions and responsibilities
have further strained the already aging assets Deepwater was designed
to upgrade or replace. Now, the Coast Guard must await funding decisions
by Congress and the White House that may determine whether it will be
able to deploy new ships, aircraft and intelligence systems at a rate
fast enough to outpace the rapid decline of its existing fleet.
