Road Trip: Coast Guard Yard, Maryland

The United States Coast Guard Yard or just Coast Guard Yard is a United States Coast Guard operated shipyard located on Curtis Bay in northern Anne Arundel County, Maryland, just south of the Baltimore city limits. It is the Coast Guard's sole shipbuilding and major repair facility, and part of the Coast Guard's core industrial base and fleet support operations. Its annual budget is $88 million.

For over a century, the United States Coast Guard Yard has built, repaired and renovated ships in Baltimore, Maryland, for the U. S. Coast Guard. It is the service's sole shipbuilding and major repair facility.

The Coast Guard Yard celebrated its centennial in 1999 and recognized the shipyard's outstanding "Service to the Fleet" since being founded on the shores of south Baltimore in April, 1899. The yard's centennial focused customer attention on the shipyard's commitment to maritime excellence, honored the yard's past and present work force and sought public recognition of the accomplishment and goals of the Coast Guard's only shipyard.

The yard is the sole source for major repair of naval weapons systems used by the Coast Guard. Topping the list is the repair of the MK 75 76 mm guns and includes a contract with the Naval Sea Systems Command for the overhaul of the Saudi Arabian MK 75 weapons systems. The yard expanded its market base in the mid-1990s to include the overhaul of the Paxman engine, the main propulsion engine in the 110' patrol boat.

The work is considered a primary example of core work for the shipyard. The yard has excelled in its capability to bring its expertise to the customer rather than the customer coming into the yard for service. The yard has built a celebrated reputation for taking its skills "on-the-road" to the coast guard fleet worldwide. The yard became the first organization in the United States government to achieve ISO 9001 certification in 1995 and ISO 9001 recertification in 1998. ISO 9001 is a set of internationally recognized standards for quality management systems.

I believe ya!

Ever heard of the place called Sable Island?

[PROCON]

Hi radu!

I went and mowed, visited son and the pups AND did a bit of shopping. Too dang much work for a Monday, LOL.

Good day overall. Wassup today with you? Is the History Channel still on the Wednesday agenda?

Howdy, LUV.

We had a big storm blow through right before I woke up but the heat was right back afterwards. It was a sauna outside. UGH! Going to be toasty all week, too, with temps in the mid-90s. And of course high humidity.

The kittehs are being buttheads this evening. Must be getting close to the full moon or something. Maybe it’s just the weather that has them stirred up.
Suvi is doing well these days and is as adorable as ever. She’s a wild little one and has no fear. I crack up when she runs up behind one of the others and pounces on them. Amazingly, none of them ever swat her.

The currents want to drag you along into Sable and then... BLAMMO! LOL

More shipwrecks there that you can shack a stick at

[radu]

Whew! You did have a busy day! Better kick back tomorrow so you’ll have energy for work Wed. morning. :-)

Not quite so busy here. I did go out to deliver a stack of the new museum pamphlets to the Veterans Affairs Office, as I’d promised I would when I got some. They were glad to get them since they’d run out of those I’d dropped off before.

Yes, the film crew will be at the museum Wed. as far as I know. Haven’t heard differently so I plan to be there when they said to be.
I did find out the show airs on the Military Channel and American Heroes Channel and it’s a periodical series. They run the shows when there are several under their belt. No telling when they’ll be on next. Previous shows are on YouTube and I’ve watched a couple.

Good evening, Pro....Work almost finished. What a day!!

All rested up for a new work week on Wednesday?

[PROCON]

Cool, tell us how it goes. OK, back to resting, LOL.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch...glad summer has arrived. Enjoy, but not too hot.

We can’t decide...hot? Rain? Drizzle? Really hot? Several times a day the forecast changes.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...did you have a wonderful BBQ? A big, sloppy hamburger sounds so good right now.

[PROCON]

Hey Kathy!

Isn't it close to your retirement time/year? Time to join us in our laziness, LOL.

[The Mayor]

Not a bad day, weather is beautiful, sunny in the 70’s
Wednesday is supposed to be rain all day.

Your a pro, busy? You got this. : )

[radu]

I’m taking my camera Wed. because they’ve rearranged things and it looks a little different now. I didn’t take it Sat. because I knew I’d be too busy to go around getting pix.

I’ll have a little AAR for you Wed. evening. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...is Penny having fun on her hikes?

How’s Blue feeling about the summer?

[Kathy in Alaska]

That rescue chopper is on a mission!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home with a stop for pizza....I’ll catch up when I get home.

[luvie]

Sure seems to be. That’s what they do best!

When my son worked for the Rescue Control Center [RCC] at Langley AFB, VA, they coordinated with the Coast Guard all the time to find planes, people or water craft that had gone missing. He LOVED that job and the CG were very helpful.

[radu]

Ooooo, PIZZA! YUM!

I hope you aren’t dragging much homework with you tonight.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Made it home...last turn close to home...a downpour!!

Pizza in the oven from Papa Murphy's...sorry it's all meat.

How about some cheese pizza?
