   Back in the time he is referring to, the Coast Guard also used to escort   
   marine traffic beyond the US Coast.  As Joe pointed out, that changed   
   sometime during or after WWII and may have only been a war-time thing.   
   Early in that war, we lost some Coast Guard vessels in the North Atlantic   
   to enemy fire (U-boats, I think).
