Yea the Famous-class are the only ones to use it, and it's only because they salvaged the weapons off of various decommissioned OHP-class frigates which happened to have 76mm guns. If the OHPs had 57mm guns the Famous-class would be using those.
I can tell, just letting you know the coast guard uses it because it saved them $30M not squad they actually wanted 76mm specifically.

Yeah, but all future boats look like they're using 57mm bofors.
The currently planned Heritage-class is expected to replace the Famous-class by the 2040s, and the Heritage-class is using the 57mm bofors gun.
sorry friend.

How do you know it's costlier?
Both the 76mm gun and 57mm gun are in the process of developing new low-cost guided munitions.
I don't think anyone knows the full cost of either yet.

>57mm bofors >bofors
Is that specific to the swedish company-made guns, or any type of bigly-fast gun where the penis flares at the end? It feels like the brand became synonymous with the item, at least for naval cannons where the dakka is quick. There's a marketing/business term for this, but I don't recall it.

From the looks of it it's an actual bofors.

genericising
classic examples: "hand me a kleenex" or "xerox this for me" (zoomers wouldn't get that one)
no, the USN 57mm IS actually a Bofors
anyone have that video of Obama at a military thingy and he's like "is there army here" and the army people cheer and he does the same for Air Force and navy, and then he says coast guard and it's quiet then people laugh?
If you spend your day-to-day actually saving people from live threatening situations instead of bombing children in some fucking desert you don't need to be constantly jerked off by everyone to feel good about yourself.
I grew up on the beach surfing, fishing, diving; all that shit. They’re the best, kinda like firefighters. Hearing the chopper fly over on hurricane days is pretty comforting tbh

Incredibly based
This is exactly why I'd reorganize police forces into first responder departments. They would be first response officers that do police, fire, medical, and search/rescue. The PR would be ideal. As it stands now we have a corrupt EMS system and firefighters who are EMS trained, have ambulances, but for some reason don't transport people and sit around the firehouse all day jacking each other off. Cut the fat and integrate all the services into one bureau.
There are nuances such as responder aids handling things like traffic accidents and being EMT trained for minor calls, different specialties, and different assignment days where you're focusing on medical or fire prevention this week, and on investigations the next week. It would work, I have experience and degrees in this field and don't see any errors.
>Coast Guard, for pussies who are also homosexual gays but somehow still too weak to join the US Navy
They require higher standards to join compared to the navy, and are extremely active in a low intensity drug war and search and rescue operations, while performing all of the same policing of international waters that the Navy does.
>While the U.S. Coast Guard is the second smallest of the U.S. military service branches in terms of membership, the service by itself is the world's 12th largest naval force.
The proposed "Patrol Frigate 4921" based on the Legend-class would actually be what we want.
> Patrol Frigate 4921 is a more radical redesign with a crew of 141, adding weapons and sensors at the expense of reducing range from 12,000 to 8,000 nautical miles (22,000 to 15,000 km). It adds a 12-cell Mk 56 VLS launcher for ESSM air-defense missiles, just behind the main gun, which is upgraded from 57mm to a 76 mm Super Rapid. Two quad launchers for Harpoon antiship missiles and a triple launcher for torpedoes are added to the stern. It retains the SeaRAM/Phalanx CIWS and 6 machine guns of other NSC variants. The stern is closed in and houses a towed-array sonar; a hull sonar is installed for mine countermeasures and an ESM suite.
probably not unless they spent a few years installing equipment that the ships are built for but not with.
The ships were often designed for larger and more weapons than were originally installed and in some cases extra sensors, space for torpedos or missile launchers, etc. So if you spent the time and money needed to install all of those systems to bring the USCG fleet up to "war" standard, then MAYBE. But they still are missing out on naval air power and subs.

Epic and 76mm-pilled
What USCG ships are using 76mm? I know all their recent shit is 57mm
The Legare uses one

Orange and white is a GOAT color scheme.

can't find it
Obummer was too stupid to realize the coasties were under DOT not DOS so they would not be there.
USCG hasn't been DoT for 21 years. They're not there because they're a tiny branch.
The only branch actually protecting america
>helping the CIA import drugs
>protecting
LAMO
CIA import with planes that landed at AFB in Alabama
>he thinks drugs are the things destroying this country
and that's why this ship is fucking sinking
Surprisingly international for a coast guard.
wait until you hear about the National Guard
Best food, best command, best career, best resume builder, gets no respect

I think that's pretty neat
Say what you want about the US armed forces but the sheer size of their navy never ceases to impress me.
Pretty neat. They guard the coast and doesn't afraid of anything. Their ships are pretty.
I've read that their bootcamp has some of the more aggressive hazing/smoking in the armed services via the whole RAMP reversion thing.
They have beautiful ships. Much more pleasing to the eyes than those soulless grey boxes the navy sails.
Forgot image
I love em. Only branch of the military I give a single fuck about.
legend-class would be a better littoral combat ship than the current lcs

That's 2.5-3.5x what LCS boats have for crew size though, so would need a few thousand more sailors for the same number of ships.
Offensive capabilities look great though.
Don't go to Kodiak.
Glowmoron Navy.
no one likes you
Can the coast guards beat the Russian Navy?
probably not unless they spent a few years installing equipment that the ships are built for but not with.
The ships were often designed for larger and more weapons than were originally installed and in some cases extra sensors, space for torpedos or missile launchers, etc. So if you spent the time and money needed to install all of those systems to bring the USCG fleet up to "war" standard, then MAYBE.

The Russian Navy might be bad, but the Coast Guard isn’t really equipped to deal with a force that large.

Bigger ships and bigger guns than the average navy
