A new role, and a different coast, for the Coast Guard
BY JOELLEN PERRY
Joellen Perry, technology and international economics reporter for U.S. News,
has been reporting from the Persian Gulf region.
OFF THE COAST OF IRAQ–They live a weird, watery, Mad Max kind of life, the 39 U.S. Coast Guard reservists who have landed the unlikely job of guarding the Mina al Bakr oil rig 13 miles off the coast of Iraq. Commandeered by Navy SEALs on March 19, the nearly milelong rig–a ramshackle, rusty contraption overrun with cockroaches and connected to Iraq's southern oil fields by underwater pipeline–was Iraq's only legal export point for oil before the war.

KITTERY — The U.S. Coast Guard is beefing up its presence in Maine by stationing two large cutters at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

The two 270-foot cutters - USCGC Tahoma and Cambell - will become permanent additions to the shipyard in September and could strengthen the yard's case during future efforts to close military bases.
