They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

Psalms, 107:23-30, KJV

Coast Guard gets rescued by Texas good ol' boy with big truck.

Semper preparis means bringing a little boat with your big trick.

As the truck drove away, Popeye was heard to say "How embarrassing"

How bad was the looting? This coast guard boat was looted with the coast guard crew still in it.

The launch procedures involve a catapult.

Land? Check, Sea? Check, Air? hmmm, Ensign, start flapping your arms.

Instead of once again depending on the Navy to bail them out when they get into deep water, the Coast Guard gets help from the Army this time.
