To this end it has ships, planes, and shore stations through- out the world. In the United States,the Coast Guard mans lifeboat stations, ready at an instant's notice to help small craft in distress. And standing by for deep sea rescues are large cutters home-ported strategically around the country. Strung out over the Atlantic and Pacific are the famous Ocean Station Vessels, gathering meteorological data and acting as guideposts for trans-oceanic aircraft. The Coast Guard's air wing performs vital search and rescue functions in addition to providing air drops and other logistic support to isolated shore stations. Helicopters are used to tow incapacitated. small craft to -safety and to search for illegally operated distilleries. The Coast Guard is also responsible for maintaining 36,000 aids-to-navigation in United States waters. These include buoys, lighthouses, radio beacons, lightships, and fog signals. Another facet of the Coast Guard's work is the manning of Long Range Aids to Navigation stations throughout the world. From the South Pacific to the Mediterranean, from Africa to Alaska, these stations beam signals that enable a mariner to electronically determine his exact position without relying on the sun or stars. . In addition, the Coast Guard has charge of marine inspection port security, and a major part of the United States small boat program. Merchant and passenger liners are inspected regularly to see that they conform to safety regulations. Small pleasure craft are constantly checked for proper operation. Yacht races and regattas are patrolled by Coast Guard Cutters. Every year from April to July in the North Atlantic, the Coast Guard sends planes aloft to spot and chart icebergs. Then, ships plying the steamer lanes are wamed as to their location. In addition, the Coast Guard has heavy operations in Alaska. During the summer season a cutter sails on Bering Sea Patrol, bringing medical and dental aid to Children and adults in isolated Arctic villages. Icebreaking too, is an important function. Not only does the Coast Guard open shipping lanes on the Great Lakes months be- fore nature would, but every year a glistening 269-foot Wind Class icebreaker is detailed to Arctic and Antarctic supply and exploration. Thus the Coast Guard's motto of Semper Paratus is well- chosen. Semper Paratus - Always Ready. Always ready to take on a new job to help preserve life and property at sea throughout the world.
