SUBJ: SITREP ON INTEGRATED DEEPWATER SYSTEM (IDS)
1. BY NOW, YOU ALL HAVE PROBABLY SEEN ARTICLES ON THE DEEPWATER PROGRAM IN
THE NEWSPAPER OR ONLINE.  THIS SUNDAY, THE MIAMI HERALD PUBLISHED A PIECE I
WROTE PERSONALLY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES RAISED.  GIVEN ITS IMPORTANCE TO OUR
READINESS AND POST-9/11 MISSION EXECUTION, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHERE I STAND
REGARDING THIS CRITICAL PROGRAM.
2. AS I SAID IN MY COMMANDANTS INTENT MESSAGE LAST MAY, YOU MUST HAVE THE
TOOLS AND SUPPORT YOU NEED TO DO YOUR JOB. THIS IS WHY DEEPWATER IS SO
CRITICAL.  IT WILL DELIVER THE MOST CAPABLE MULTI-MISSION SHIPS, AIRCRAFT,
AND COMMAND-AND-CONTROL SYSTEMS AVAILABLE.  WHILE WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED SOME
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES, I ASK EACH OF YOU TO AVOID RUSHING TO JUDGMENT
DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF THIS COMPLEX AND LONG TERM ACQUISITION.
3. OUR PRINCIPAL PROBLEMS HAVE CENTERED ON STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES DURING
CONVERSION OF 110-FOOT PATROL BOATS TO 123S, THE DESIGN OF THEIR COMPOSITE
HULLED REPLACEMENT, THE FAST RESPONSE CUTTER (FRC) AND SERVICE LIFE ISSUES
WITH THE NATIONAL SECURITY CUTTER (NSC).  THIS MONTH, I TOOK THE 123S OUT OF
SERVICE FOR CREW SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY REASONS, TWO AREAS WHERE
WE WILL ACCEPT NO COMPROMISE.
4.  WE DEFERRED DESIGN WORK ON THE COMPOSITE FRC EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN
TECHNICAL CONCERNS WERE IDENTIFIED. SINCE THEN, WE EXAMINED THE SUITABILITY
OF EXISTING IN-SERVICE DESIGNS TO PROCURE A PROVEN PATROL BOAT TO ADDRESS
OUR URGENT OPERATIONAL NEEDS. WE ISSUED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL AND EXPECT
DESIGNS FOR A REPLACEMENT PATROL BOAT BY MARCH 2007.
5.  GIVEN THE COMPLEXITY OF SHIP DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL
FOR LEAD SHIPS OF A NEW CLASS TO REQUIRE SOME DESIGN MODIFICATIONS. DURING
THE CONSTRUCTION OF OUR FIRST NSC, COAST GUARD ENGINEERS DETERMINED THAT
SOME SHIP STRUCTURES REQUIRED STRENGTHENING TO INCREASE THE SERVICE LIFE OF
THE SHIP. WE WILL MAKE THOSE ENHANCEMENTS.
6.  CRITICISMS OF THE DEEPWATER PROGRAM SHOULD NOT MASK THE PROGRESS WE ARE
MAKING IN OTHER AREAS, NOTABLY C4ISR UPGRADES TO LEGACY CUTTERS, RE-ENGINING
OF HH-65 HELICOPTERS, THE MISSIONIZATION OF HC-130J AIRCRAFT, AND DELIVERY
OF OUR FIRST NEW HC-144A MEDIUM RANGE MARITIME PATROL AIRCRAFT.
7. WE HAVE AN URGENT NEED TO RECAPITALIZE OUR AGING FLEET. OUR FUTURE
READINESS DEPENDS ON IT, AND I AM FULLY COMMITTED TO THIS EFFORT.
SIGNIFICANT MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO IMPROVE DEEPWATER PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT, AND WE WILL IMPLEMENT OTHERS DURING THE YEAR AHEAD. MORE
EFFECTIVE OVERSIGHT, SOUND STEWARDSHIP OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS, AND TIMELY
DELIVERY OF MUCH-NEEDED ASSETS ARE THE WATCHWORDS FOR DEEPWATER. WE ARE
PURSUING ALL EFFORTS WITH A GREAT SENSE OF URGENCY. ANYTHING LESS IS
UNACCEPTABLE. DEEPWATER IS FUNDAMENTALLY ABOUT THE COAST GUARD'S ABILITY TO
SAVE LIVES, SECURE OUR MARITIME BORDERS AND PROTECT OUR MARINE ENVIRONMENT.

SUBJ: COMMANDANTS HOLIDAY MESSAGE
1.  THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS UPON US.  IT IS THE TIME OF YEAR WE
REFLECT ON THE PAST AND LOOK AHEAD TO THE FUTURE.  THIS YEAR WAS
ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN COAST GUARD HISTORY, AND I AM
CONFIDENT THAT 2007 WILL BE NO DIFFERENT.
2.  EACH OF YOU HAS A REASON TO BE PROUD OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS, NOT
ONLY TO THE COAST GUARD, BUT ALSO TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND THE NATION.
ALL OF YOU, FROM THE NORTH ARABIAN GULF TO THE GREAT LAKES, ARE
VITAL TO THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ALL AMERICANS.  YOU SAVE LIVES,
DEFEND OUR NATION, PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND PRESERVE OUR WAY OF
LIFE. YOU ARE AMERICA'S MARITIME GUARDIANS, AND AMERICA DEPENDS ON
YOUR COURAGE, YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR DEDICATION.  I AM INCREDIBLY
HUMBLED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD OUR COAST GUARD DURING
THESE CHALLENGING TIMES.
3.  THE NEW YEAR ALSO MARKS A TIME OF RENEWAL.  I RESOLVE TO LEAD
THE COAST GUARD THROUGH ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PERIODS OF
TRANSFORMATION THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN.  THROUGH A LASER-LIKE FOCUS
ON MISSION EXECUTION, WE WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A NUMBER OF
CRITICAL ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES AND ENHANCEMENTS.  THESE WILL
OPTIMIZE OUR ABILITY TO SERVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THE
PERFORMANCE OF OUR MARITIME SAFETY, SECURITY AND STEWARDSHIP
MISSIONS.  AS WE IMPROVE THE WAY WE MANAGE AND SUPPORT THOSE
MISSIONS,  I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU INFORMED OF OUR PROGESS.  I
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE IN ME AND OUR SENIOR LEADERSHIP TO DO
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE COAST GUARD AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
4.  AS YOU MAKE PLANS TO SPEND WELL-EARNED TIME WITH FRIENDS AND
FAMILY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, I ALSO ASK THAT YOU REMEMBER OUR FELLOW
SERVICE MEMBERS DEPLOYED OVERSEAS AND THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.
THEY ARE SACRIFICING TIME WITH THEIR LOVED ONES TO STAND THE WATCH
TO HELP PRESERVE AMERICAS SAFETY AND SECURITY.  I AM EXTREMELY
PROUD OF EACH OF YOU.  BE SAFE IN ALL THAT YOU DO, AT WORK AND AT
HOME, AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR SHIPMATES.
5.  MY REMARKS AT OUR HOLIDAY BALL IN WASHINGTON DC CAN BE FOUND
AT: HTTP://WWW.USCG.MIL/COMDT/SPEECHES.
6.  PAM AND I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY
SEASON AND BEST WISHES FOR A SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR. SEMPER PARATUS!

SUBJ: COMMANDANTS VETERANS DAY MESSAGE
1. ON THE ELEVENTH HOUR OF THE ELEVENTH DAY OF THE ELEVENTH MONTH OF 1918, WORLD WAR I ENDED. THE SIGNING OF THE ARMISTICE WAS CELEBRATED AROUND THE WORLD, AND THE COAST GUARD WAS NO SMALL PART OF THE VICTORY.    IN 1915, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF COMMODORE ELLSWORTH P. BERTHOLF, WE BECAME THE MODERN COAST GUARD, WITH THE MERGER OF THE REVENUE CUTTER AND U.S. LIFESAVING SERVICES.  IN MARCH OF 1917, WITH HOSTILITIES ESCALATING, COMMODORE BERTHOLF LED THE COAST GUARD AS WE JOINED WITH NAVAL FORCES TO CONVOY SHIPS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND PATROL THE COASTS.  OUR PEOPLE SERVED HEROICALLY, AND THE COAST GUARD ULTIMATELY SUFFERED THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF LOSSES OF ANY AMERICAN ARMED FORCE IN WORLD WAR I.

2. THIS WEEKEND, AS WE COMMEMORATE THE SERVICE OF ALL AMERICAN VETERANS, I AM PROUD TO ACCOMPANY THE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND MRS. CHERTOFF, AS SHE CHRISTENS COAST GUARD CUTTER BERTHOLF.  BERTHOLF IS THE FIRST OF THE LEGEND CLASS OF NATIONAL SECURITY CUTTERS AND WILL BE THE FLAGSHIP OF THE COAST GUARD'S DEEPWATER FLEET.  SHE IS THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE TIMES - CAPABLE, INTEROPERABLE, AND DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC FROM ALL THREATS AND ALL HAZARDS. I AM COMMITTED TO PUTTING THE RIGHT TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF OUR PEOPLE, WHO FOR 216 YEARS HAVE SELFLESSLY SERVED THIS NATION.

3. THE CHRISTENING OF BERTHOLF IS A FITTING TRIBUTE TO COAST GUARD MEN AND WOMEN, AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR NATION'S VETERANS, MANY OF WHOM WILL ATTEND THE CEREMONY.  WHETHER A COXSWAIN OR COOK, MACHINIST OR MEDIC, AVIATOR OR SAILOR, GENERATIONS OF AMERICANS MADE, AND CONTINUE TO MAKE, PERSONAL SACRIFICES TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE AND STRONG. COAST GUARD PEOPLE STAND DUTY AROUND THE CLOCK IN DEMANDING MISSIONS AT HOME AND ABROAD, GIVING UP TIME WITH FAMILY AND LOVED ONES TO HONORABLY SERVE THE NATION.  

4. LET US NOT FORGET OUR FALLEN SHIPMATES OVER THE YEARS AND THEIR HEROIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM. REMEMBER ALSO THAT THE HARD WORK AND SACRIFICES YOU MAKE NOW WILL BECOME THE COAST GUARDS LEGACY.

6. ADM THAD W. ALLEN, COMMANDANT, SENDS.
