Those on vessels perform multiple duties. A Signal Officer can also act as a Navigation Officer. All ships have access to Interceptor Crafts which are fast on water. These crafts make it easier to save lives or catch criminals. The Coast Guard is one of the few organizations that are constantly updating their methods, fleet and equipment.

As explained earlier, the bridge has sophisticated equipment giving the latest information about anything and everything. They are unlike the land police in all respects.

Today I am very happy with my decision, so also is my family.
