Actually, it was 1915, when the Revenue Cutter Service and the Lifesaving Service were merged to form the Coast Guard. I suppose you also maintain that the United States didn't have an air force before September 1947? Sheez.

sorry, coast guard was an arm of the treasury (customs) and responsible for
interdicting smuggling and attending lighthouses and other duties "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message thlink.net... "Ron Natalie" wrote in message m... The Coast Guard also maintains that they were present as an armed force in the pre-revolutionary times before the Army and the Navy. Hmmm.... I don't see how, the USCG wasn't formed until sometime in the 1920s, I believe. |
