Sector 2 - Cove and Boat Facilities

Capistrano Island is well situated to protect our southwestern coast from all incursions. Our USDOC Fleet operations include interdictions of smuggling operations from Mexico. At present we do not have any craft capable of doing this but the Coast Guard keeps a vessel here for this purpose. Our requistion for an ex-Navy PBR (Pibber) has gone thru and the new boat arrived at Capistrano Island Cove this July 2001. It will require a complete refitting before it is ready to join our little fleet. When it is, our UDT will have a diving platform and our command will have something to start patrolling the local waters.

We do keep a small force available for underwater operations and seaborne recons. To date we have three small Zodiacs for this purpose. We may add on a larger Zodiac in the future, but this is still in the planning stages.
