So, bit of context first.
My dad has worked for the US Coast Guard for a large portion of my life, 13 years or so, so the Coast Guard has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, pretty much. He's been a part of many projects during that time, and is currently Head of Logistics for the new Polar Icebreaker program. In my mind, it seems like he is often the only one who takes his job seriously. I've often presented him with suggestions that, as a child, I thought would "improve" the USCG. So far, this is one of the only ones I've stuck with, the other being the adoption of flying boats.

So yeah, for the longest time, I've thought the Coast Guard needed a helicopter carrier. Now in particular, after i don't even know how many hurricanes in a row, I'm still sticking with this idea. Trust me, I know all the reasons why this isn't that great of an idea, it's a conversation I've had many, many times. But still, feel free to, I'd love to talk about it more!

Just, I kinda want to know if there are any reasons if it's a good idea.
