     @sickburnbro I don't think I like that carrier group so close to the Yemeni coastline...

     I thought that we were about to bomb the shit out of them was a forgone conclusion.

     @AlabasterBrick I'm guessing they are putting them there because the navy is having fleet problems

     @sickburnbro did ppl suddenly forget that the coast guard's primary military function is a coastal escort force for the navy?

     @mkultra correct. I didn't realize that was permanent, and this many ships.
     
     But their location shows they are not being used as described.

     No that's why they're there.
     
     Note that this was established after coast guard deployments in the Persian Gulf War and Iraq war

     @sickburnbro the coast guard deploys before the navy in these cases. This is because cutters screen better for the small craft and such that you'd be expecting out there.
     
     These boats are in effect a screen, ie an escort.

     @mkultra yes, but that doesn't look like being used as an escort. In either case, the mass deployment of cutters to that area in the last 2 years to me is all we need to know.

     In naval operations a screen is a loose escort to interdict and intercept things.

     @mkultra I usually think of an escort as loosly attached to a carrier group, but what I think is most interesting is that they obviously have the cutters there for the faster Iranian ships.
     
     But I for one was surprised to see 5 of them stationed there.

     @sickburnbro yes, I just explained that the terms are identical.
     
     This is normal for mass naval deployment in an area like this.
