Should Coast Guard buy LCS?: Coast guard cutters and Navy LCSs may mix duties

Article Abstract:

Congress should consider the division of homeland security duties between the future Navy Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) and the new cutters that the Coast Guard might purchase in its $24 billion, 25-year Deepwater acquisition program. LCSs might perform missions similar to or overlapping those of planned new cutters that the Coast Guard would purchase in its Deepwater program.
