The Navy credited Coast Guard warships with sinking one Japanese submarine but they probably sank two. Coast Guardsmen also captured the only two Nazi surface vessels to surrender during the war. They were also the first to capture a German POW and the first U.S. servicemen to board an enemy warship at sea since the War of 1812. Two U-boats surrendered to Coast Guard warships at the end of hostilities, including one transporting uranium and the latest German rocket and jet technology to Japan.
Why was the coast Guard formed?
The origins of the Coast Guard go back to Alexander Hamilton recommending to Congress to create an agency to protect the fledgling United States' maritime commerce from the British. American commercial vessels were heavily preyed upon by pirates and British privateers. In 1790, Congress authorized the creation of the Revenue Cutter Service and the building of about a dozen cutters. in 1848, local humanitarian effects and other private interests came together into a government agency called the United States Life Saving Service. This agency set up life saving stations throughout the country that utilized small boats and lyle guns to rescue shipwreck victims. In 1915, these two agencies were combined to create the modern day Coast Guard. The Coast Guard was just a pirvate thing along time ago to save people when ships wrecked in storms. they used row boats and men with oars. The government decided to take over this and now we have the U.S. Coast Guard.
