What foreign navies could the US Coast Guard defeat in sea and shoreside?
The USCG has cutters with large surface weapon systems:
there smaller seacraft and aircraft can be outfitted with small arms and crews serves as well.
For shoreside combat, they have Port Security Units that train for Direct Action roles
youtu.be
All of them except like England and China
none because they carry no missiles or defences.
>no defenses
What do you mean? The CWIS is anti-air and anti-missle
>76mm

Watch that video in the OP. How the fuck could anything survive that?
Phillipines
since coast guard are operating within US borders and very close to land, they would be very close to US land based aircraft and friendly support systems
any attacker would be a long way from any kind of support or supply
unless the attackers were subs or carriers, then the coast guard would have a huge advantage over their foes
Chinese Coast Guard has bigger ships than American Coast Guard.
if your ciws is your only anti air, you may as well have no anti air at all.
they were removed from coast guard inventory in 2012, only the navy has those weapons now.
>gets sunk from 400 miles away by anti ship missile
>since coast guard are operating within US borders
False, the Coast Guard currently has ships patrolling off Africa, the Black Sea, and the Persian Gulf
Why? What’s wrong with the CWIS?
That’s a lie
That’s the point of having a CWIS... to shoot down the anti-ship missle
Technically they've been deployed in a lot of places, even the Persian Gulf. They also operate at pretty distant stations and US territories.
PLACG ships require extra volume to allow for counter-flooding. Otherwise they develop serious list when doors fail.
False. I see them on the cutters moored in the Harbor all the time.
OP’s question is dumb. USCG exists basically as a federal law enforcement agency and safety service for American coastal waters. Most of what they do is drug interdiction, followed by medical response and search and rescue.
They don’t have military grade anti ship missiles, or anti submarine weapons. Probably don’t even have sonar.
They had a KIA during OIF

>military grade anti ship missiles
They are designed to be outfitted with the Harpoon anti-ship missle launchers

It says right on their website..

China, the UK, Russia, and several other navies would be able to beat them, but they could hold their own against pretty much any medium sized navy.
F
The new national security cutters had the option to include tomahawk missile cells but they decided against it.
>the virgin US coast guard cutter
>the chad Chinese coast guard frigate
That looks almost like an exact copy. Fucking chinks
Are you retarded? the type 054 frigate came out like more than 10 years ago
Like anything, even computers aren't perfect. A CIWS DOES have a possibility to fail, especially when 2 or more missiles come its way within close proximity of eachother. As much as he's probably not the best source, Tom Clancy did a nice analysis of it in Red Storm Rising during the chapter when the russian Bears launch cruise missiles disguised as drones at the Nimitz.
An turret's AI can be tricked very easily, and this isn't a world where the bad guy only launches one, climatic, end-all-be-all missile...
Seems pretty based
chinks not only did you copy, you made a smaller and shittier version
and that costa guard cutter has been around longer
the phalanxs true power is classified, like very classified
but its main advantages are that it is completely self contained
weapon, ammo, fire control, and radar guidance are all contained in a single unit
its not completely fool proof, but its definitely effective especially when used as part of a very deep combat layer
even as a standalone weapon, its much better than nothing and way more effective than manually aimed M240s
their self-contained nature makes them very good at being mounted on even small vessels with primitive fire control, allowing a fleet to have a very good missile defence for its size as well
and forcing the enemy to waste so many missiles on vessels as small as the coast guard is a strategic bonus
The fucking Canadian ""Navy"" could sink the coastniggers. You either have VLS, or your crab food.
Oh look. Radars and light cannons and some machine guns. Totally a surface warfare ship equipped for line combat.
Wait no. It’s mission is to engage smaller craft and it has no missiles.
The majority of the USCG operations are drug interdiction and maritime safety/rescue/medical and law enforcement. They are very much oriented to that role.
Anything Russian and below
>Phalanx CIWS
>failed during only combat use ever against ancient missile
kek.
