Description
A quiet and peaceful day at USCG Station Castle Hill. This is a multi-mission station which conducts Search and Rescue, Ports Waterways and Coastal Security (PWCS), Recreational Boating Safety and Fisheries Regulation, in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. As a team they keep a vigilant watch over the waters of Narragansett bay, utilizing a crew of 44 active/25 reserve personnel and with (4) assets: 45' Response Boats Medium, and two 25' Response Boats Small. Station Castle Hill maintains a high level of readiness and response by maintaining a 24 hour watch and responding to over 200+ search and rescue cases per year. In 2011, this unit was awarded the Sumner I Kimball Readiness award, an honor received by fewer than 14% of the units tested during a given period. The award was named for Sumner I. Kimball, who was superintendent of the U.S. Lifesaving Service from 1878 to 1915. Kimball completely transformed a disorganized collection of life-saving stations into a well organized, cohesive organization. In 1915, the U.S. Lifesaving Service joined with other agencies to become the modern Coast Guard.
