Awesome video montage of daily operations aboard USCGC BOUTWELL during her 2015 Alaskan maritime patrol
 

There's some nice footage here of marine mammals and gunnery
exercises.

Wow
Compared to the WWII surplus tubs we were on, that is the star ship
Enterprise ;-)

The only thing I recognized was the M2 machine gun.

BTW I doubt that shooting exercise was a daily thing. In a 5 week
cruise, we generally only did live fire drills once, if it happened at
all.

I only saw a 5" fired on one occasion and it was a big deal.

We were not as much into law enforcement in those days so nobody
carried sidearms. Now I see the guys out of FMB armed to the teeth,
checking flares and life jackets. It just looks silly.

They need to equip those Mk 38's with Mod 2 mounts,
instead of spraying the ocean with off-target shells.
It'll improve accuracy by 1000%.
Might be a space issue. More likely budget.
Good vid though. Thanks.
