Dan Webster: “Thank you all for your testimony.”

This is my warning to the Coast Guard: Please start saving yourselves from your own sinking ship.

I have major concerns about the funding needed to keep up with the backlog in infrastructure, the investments in new assets such as cutters and helicopters and everyday support services to the fleet.

I urge funding levels in line with H.R. 7659, the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2024.

the resources required to build, homeport, and maintain Polar Security Cutters are substantial.
