To be the guardians of the sea. To perform law enforcement ie drug interdiction, migrant interdiction, fisheries. Perform rescues at sea whether by boat, ship, or helo. To perseve life and property at sea. To enforce polution laws. To conduct boardings of vessels at sea for safety and law violations. To ensure Aids to Navigations (Bouys) are in proper location and operating so vessels can travel safely. To operate Loran stations to help vessels know their location. To help defent the country against foes domestic and abroad. For some the purpose of the Coast Guard is to further their education or learn a new trade. It's all subjective and how you look at things. BY Tom :p

The general purpose is the overall intent of your speech. The specific purpose is a goal stated in a complete sentence. Overall, the general purpose and specific purpose are different because they both mean different things. The specific purpose is just really a goal stated in your sentence and the general purpose is just the purpose of your speech.GENERAL PURPOSE: purpose of your speech.SPECIFIC PURPOSE: the goal or the main idea in your speech.
