Today's Coast Guard includes roughly 90 large cutters, about 90 special-purpose vessels including icebreakers and buoy tenders, and just over 300 small ships and boats.

The US Coastline is 12,400 miles long. If you figure 100 boats of the fleet out on patrol at any given time that's about 124 miles of coastline per boat to watch.
makes you feel real safe now doesn't it?
