- US Coast Guard cutter USCGC "Bertholf" during an exercise in the East China Sea. USCGC Bertholf (WMSL-750) is the first Legend-class maritime security cutter of the United States Coast Guard. The Legend-class cutter, also known as the National Security Cutter (NSC) and Maritime Security Cutter, Large, is the largest active patrol cutter class of the United States Coast Guard. Entering into service in 2008, the Legend-class is the largest of several new cutter designs developed as part of the Integrated Deepwater System Program.

My father was a member of the US coast guard in Vietnam, he received the Navy commendation metal for combat and US combat action ribbon.
While working at Coast Guard headquarters I heard many harrowing stories of the bravery of Coast Guard chopper pilots and their crew flying in the face of gale force storms trying to rescue boat passengers before sinking and at their fuel limits for a safe return.
Yep, had mine during hurricane Andrew out of New Orleans. Seven fisherman dropped off at a small airport and our fuel state low enough for the air station to fly another helicopter out to pick up our copilot and rescue swimmer and escort me an the pilot back in case our engines flamed out due to lack of fuel. Good times.
@@dcpack Thank you for your courageous service.
such a cool video of showing what else the Coast Guard is capable of !
Coast Guard has been slowly been upgrading since 911. When I was in the 41 and 32 footers were replacing the 30 and 40 footers. Love to buy a old 40 footer. An old PO3 MK here
Curious to what you would call an "old coastie"? I once met a guy who called himself and old Coastie, and he went in - in the early 90's! Hahaha. When I mentioned I went to bootcamp in Alameda, he didn't even know there was a bootcamp there at one time! I was in from 1980 - 1987...and still don't consider myself an "old coastie". Just an EM2. 👊Semper Paratus👊

When I reported to my 1st small boat station, our 41, 41449, was on it's way but had to be taken back to Baltimore to get its superstructure replaced. A detour took it under a low bridge. Ripped it right off. It replaced our 40. We got a 30 from Sta St Clair Flats when it was being shut down in 79. 40's were great for plucking people out of the water, but 41's were great for wet weather. Retired RM/TC sends.
Was driving far from the ocean, and saw a over the horizon motor surf boat from a 378....made me get misty. #1boat engineer RUSH 723
@stevegonzales3612 foxtrot 131, wasn't the GRINDER fun?
I served aboard USCGC Mellon (717) from 1980 - 1982... C.G. has changed significantly since I was in, as it will change again for future generations. Semper Paratus! 👊
I agree I served aboard USCGC Cook Inlet (WHEC-385) 311 ft Cutter out of Portland Maine from 1968-1970 and you are right things have changed significantly.
@@stevendersham5459 Good to read somebody who was in prior to me. I laugh when Coastie's call themselves "Old Salt Coastie's", but yet went into the C.G., let's say early 90's...hahaha
It's been 42 yrs since I went in and I still don't see myself as an Old Coastie, since there are plenty of Coastie's still around from the 60's & 70's. That honor goes to them...👊respect👊
@@stevegonzales3612 I served 1963-1968, the Mallow, Relief Lightship, Yap Island, Port Hueneme Station....Boot Camp was living hell back then too ....
For the worse I’m afraid. It’s not what it was when I was in from 1978-1987. 😢
Back when the 12 WHECs had sonar. Do you recall any ST on Mellon? I was an ST on the Midgett (1980) and then Hamilton (1981 - 1982).
For one thing. It's not a COMBAT boat, it's a Cutter. Another, I'm sure the Navy may have a thing to say about "size".
Right on !!!!!!!!
‘Largest combat cutter” read the description.
@@glhmedic I did, why I pointed out, that's a wrong way to refer to it. Thats like when people refer to the 140's as "ice breakers", it's a Tug able to break ice, Not "ice breaking Tug) what it's referred to as a WTGB, Coast Guard TUG glacial breaker. WMSL stands for Coast Guard Maritime Security CUTTER Large. They should have kept the WHEC, since thats what it replaced. But in the infamous wisdom at the puzzle palace, they have to be all cool and rename the class, but capable of combat, as is any WMEC's and others, combat is NOT in it's standard naming consideration. But hey, whats in a name, right?
Who cares What the navy says😂😂septer paratus
The US Coast Guard has been engaged in every US conflict since 1790.
Excuse me, but speaking as a USCG veteran, if you called this SHIP a boat in the service, you'd be cleaning the entire ship with a toothbrush!!
Tell it Anything over 65 ft is a ship dare not call it a boat
That looks a Legend class combat cutter for those who don't know maybe 758
Damn good looking boat
Want to see a goodmlooking SHIP look at the CGC DALLAS WHEC 716 prefram!
@@danshearer2689 All the 378s looked pretty sharp. I was on Midgett and Hamilton as an ST.

It is not a "boat". It is a "ship". The difference between a boat and a ship is a ship can carry a boat, but a boat cannot carry a ship.
1. Ship, not boat. 2. Not intended primarily for combat.
navy for 4years we always refer to our ship as boat
And no where near the biggest
It’s actually a Cutter. US Coast Guard vessels larger than 65’ are called Cutters. If they are smaller than that, then they are called Boats.
in town somewhere overseas on a carrier when we were done with drinking and hookers it was always lets get back to the boat!🙂
Cutter
Eto super 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲👍
“Words mean something.” The Legend class US Coast Guard Cutters are not designed specifically for combat - they are armed and can operate with the Navy but they do much more. They are currently the largest US Coast Guard Cutters but many navies have significantly larger vessels. Boats are those smaller orange thing being launched and recovered via their stern ramp.
As someone who was on this cutter this is not the largest CGC in the Coast Guard. The Alex Healy is 420' from bow to sterm. The WMSL class are 418' the LRI (Large response intercept) and the MK4 are launched out of the stern notch (the back of the boat) and off the starboard (right) davot (which is the side). You are correct this is not a combat boat. This boat is used for SAR (Search & Rescue) and LE (Law Enforcement).
@@Cierrajuleee Thank you. I retired a bit over 21 years ago having served aboard six cutters ranging from 110 ft to 210 ft that were commissioned between 1927 and 1990. I suspected Healy might be a bit larger but wasn’t sure.
@@chuckmathis958 thank you for your service 🇺🇲
@@Cierrajuleee Beat me to it. When t he new breakers hit the water, they will be even bigger.
@@Cierrajuleee close, it is CGC Healy named after Captain "Hell roarin" Mike Healy. CGC Alex Haley is a 282' prior navy vessel
A very capable ship. Love it!
USCG Healy is actually the largest Coast Guard cutter, not the Legend Class ships.
Not every USCG vessel is a cutter. Healy is an icebreaker.
@@kabouterwesley83 The Healy is still designated as the USCGC Healy, just like how the Mackinaw is. USCGC stands for “United States Coast Guard Cutter.”
A sea wiz? That's nuts!
As an old "coastie", I would like to know who called this a "Combat" boat ? With no disrespect, how long would this boat last in a fight with an hostile destroyer or frigate? We all need to remember the SHEFFIELD and how she fared with the over the horizon missile attack....not well. The CG should stick to it's mission and call on it's big brother when they need.
these people are idiots who wouldn't know a stealth bomber from a 747, they have no fucking business making videos
@Rob, "The CG should stick to it's mission and call on it's big brother when they need.". You know what they say right? "Coast Guard, even the Navy needs a hero". ;-)
I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if they mean combat support vessel? as in it supports smaller combat units?
@@Bendigo1 CG performs force protection when requested by the Navy. The Navy knows (and admits) that the CG's mission and ability to function in areas the Navy normally doesn't (i.e., boarding's just to name one). I wouldn't put any CG vessel head to head against a DDG much less a FFG because they are not designed to do the same mission(s). But history shows the CG not only can hold it's own, it's pretty darn good at taking out threats. And to be honest, I doubt a big grey boat can get into ports or areas where there is a hostile attitude towards the U.S., but the CG HAS had a favorable dialog with even Chinese war vessels. And I think if one remembers last year, a CG 110 patrol boat didn't hesitate to fire on a Iranian fast boat acting in a threating manner during it's force protection role in the middle east.
Agreed
I like it
Nice now that's what we're talking about American muscle at its best thanks for your services guys fjb
6:47 An autobot?
At least they can land a modern bird on her......378's could only take a sikorsky hh52....and they came damn close too the balloon shelter and stacks😂
That was back when pilots were damn good. I saw many landings in rough weather on a 378' CUTTER.
@jonathanp1884 me too, a ton of nailbiters. Had a pilot(cmdr) ask me "how do you do it?" As boat engineer.
I asked him "How do YOU do it?"
I never saw myself on film, asked him if he'd ever seen a bird land on 378, he said he did it, never saw it live. Good times
Combat Cutter is a stretch. The cutter part is ok except for the inadequate suite of weapons she is armed with. The command staff who approved several classes of cutters armed with a sub caliber 57 mm main gun should be retired or relegated to the records section. The 57 mm gun was developed as a secondary battery gun designed to shoot at targets too close in to use the main guns and to target incoming anti ship missiles. It was never designed to be a main gun. The Coast Guard by doing this they risk loosing the cutter and its crew. The 57 mm is seldom used to fire into vessels who refuse to stop as in the years past. Warning shots are typically fired with a machine gun. If our cutter had to engage multiple small attack boats like Iran uses a single forward firing gun leaving her beams and stern open for attack. Now maybe the phlanix could be brought to bear but it lacks the range to attack the vessels before they are able to bring their rockets to bear on the cutter. Against an armed naval vessel, even a small corvette could and does pose a major threat to even our largest cutters armed only with the 57 mm gun. In WW2 our Secretary Class cutters measuring only 327’ were armed with 3, yes 3, 5” 38 caliber main guns. The later 378’ cutters still maintained the 5”” main gun. While the WW2 era gun is outdated today, the 5” shel is not. There was no reason that the current Navy Mark 45 5” gun could not have been easily installed into cutters a hundred feet longer than the WW2 era cutters. In fact the Secretary class cutters were comparably armed as destroyers and destroyer escorts. The biggest thing our cutters lacked compared to a destroyer was their speed. But these foresight lacking officers are not done yet. They have proposed that the yet to be built ice breakers will be armed with a single 25 mm gun. A 25 mm gun in a potential face off with a Russian or Chinese ship entering our article territorial waters is foolish at best and deadly at worst.
I got let go from the. Coast guard because I have flat feet,why? I got built in flipper’s, they got more nut than the Navy , God bless them
Not sure. I have 2 flat feet and I made it through 9 weeks of recruit training in 1978. Were you having medical problem with them?

Ну чего вы так к названию прицепились? Да это катер у которого есть ещё маленький катер и вертолёт. Вы же слышали про яхту Абрамовича? Но ведь это круизный лайнер, а не яхта...
Ну общепринятых делений на классы у кораблей нету. Так что да, это катер)

Largest combat “boat”?
Si ese es el barco más grande del mundo, yo estoy entre lo divino y lo humano, más cerca de lo divino, por supuesto...
You use boats when the ship is sinking!
По размерам как фрегат
No Roster Tail shoots. Or how long would it take a carrier to over take you is the question. It's called agility.
A large patrol frigate but weak in offensive and defensive capabilities.
The Coasties really need to beef up the ship fighting ability fast.
what is the cutter strength? is like a lite corvette or frigate?
The size of a Frigate
@@mil3010 thank you,
Who’s chopper was that at 2:18? It wasn’t a USCG bird.
Phillipine navy probably
Parece un yate de lujo comparado con un crucero de batalla Ruso.
Length x width ? Coastguard boat but This is like a corvette or frigate Size already
127x16 meters (418X54 feet) 4,500 tons, they are classified in US Coast Guard as cutter. But they did offer the same hull as a frigate.
Another country that operate large coast guard vessel, like Norway, they call them for "offshore patrol vessel", Norway's 105 meter Nordkapp class, was to be re-armed as a frigate, if war. They are replacing there's coast guard vessel, with even larger vessel, a 136.4 meter ship
It’s not a combat boat that’s a lie
I'm just a simple straight-leg grunt, so please excuse my ignorance, but why do we need the United States Coast Guard in the East China Sea?
because the high endurance cutters can act as frigates as they did in ww2 and vietnam.
Хрена себе. Водоизмещение 4500. А зачем так много?
Вертолёт сажать.
конструктор лего знаеш о таком? вот и здесь в случае чего можно сделать страшную штучку.
Kirov class is a big lady in the world.
The Kirov is a navy nuclear guided missile cruiser, this is a coast guard cutter. It's like comparing an orange to a sweet potato.
Це катер?Довжина як в фрегатів
Da
Но эт точно катер АМЕРИКА сэр
Мнофункциональный катер береговой охраны - в общем-то работа у него в широком спектре, по этому и такие габариты... но это катер, хотя все эти названия вообще условны.
@Вася Пупкарев ну про использование десантных кораблей как лёгких авианосцев я и так знаю, и да таких машин должно быть не меньше основных авианосцев. F-35 даже на эсминце может куковать... Так что)
@Вася Пупкарев про это я и писал.
Это не катер а полноценный фрегат
The East China Sea? I didn't know it was part of our coastline.
Coast Guard operates world wide.. not just the United States.. I was in the Coast Guard and served in Vietnam!!! Yes.. the coast guard was in Vietnam.. look it up!!!
0:20 Все Перегрелся?!))))
dso es lo más grande no estará exagerando
Гоните его пацаны под украину там шас он пригодиться украинцам освабождать свои земли от захватчиков
Putin huilo
Не помешало бы,гниду кремлёвскую поджарить
Вообще под нападение не пригодится он для защиты а вот например Тикондероги и Перри пригодятся вам
Толку с него мало... Он для пресечении контрабанды и нелегальной миграции создан, а вооружение стандартное для класса. Ракет нету.
Ni es de combate,ni es el mas grande y ni siquiera es el mejor equipado "del mundo".
La USCG es una unidad de policia maritima militarizada, nada mas, qie ademas suma las capacidades de salvamento en el mar. Puede resultar impresionante paraquien no conozca otros paises con sus propias unidades de policia maritima y salvamento y rescate pero sin peliculas. Los norteamericanos se.crenn que el mundo termina en sus fronteras.

American Cost guard in Chinese see??? That is provocation, and only provocation. As always in the case of America.
It’s international waters…the United States has the right and the obligation to be there.
Cry more
Anyone can be in international waters for one. Two the US is not the only country that goes around provoking countries to test their responses. Russia does it to us on almost a daily basis at times with their bombers.
Excuse me sir the largest combat vessel in the World is the Kirov class battlecruiser
Questi non raccolgono clandestini
I guess the author never heard of the China Coast Guard at 10,000 tons (empty)
12,000 tons (full displacement), and weapon per weapon every bit as Combat Ready...China built two units and they are both on Active Duty.
Not the largest Coast Guard cutters in the world. China, Japan, and S. Korea all have armed Coast Guard Cutters that are much larger.
Of course the icebreakers are also larger but the post used the adjective "combat."
Kirov, Ticondeeoga, Type 055, Zejong the Great, Maya, Congo, Udaloy, Burcke, Horizon, Type 045, FREMM?
HAHAHAHA
Combat boat? LololololYou guys know nothing.
No not combat at all lol
