Colors
United States Coast Guard#Colors correctly states the Pantone colors for CG Red (179C) and CG Blue (307C) and cites the official doc with that info, but the RGB values given here and in our other color articles and those given and shown in sources are widely variable, and could use some clarification. Colors shown for PDF sources are those rendered by Adobe Reader X on Win7 in 32-bit color mode.

B-class assessment is at risk for this article
I have added several instances of Citation needed tags to places in the article that are lacking citations. While most of the places in the article are cited, a good deal of material added to the article after its assessment of B-class does not have required cites. I will attempt to correct this oversight in the near future; however, I would encourage all watchers of this article to pitch in and help with the appropriate citations. Due to the Coast Guard Historian's Office decision in 2015 to change the reference pages to Department of Defense pages there are also many "404" pages and broken links. While the Historian's Office has been working diligently to add material back into the DOD pages, they only have so much manpower to accomplish this. In the meantime, we are stuck with "404" messages on many of the existing citations. I hesitate to lower the assessment on this article without being given a chance to correct the problem. If any interested party feels that the article needs re-assessment then please feel free to do that. I only labeled those areas that need citations as an indication of where work needs to be done and not a condemnation of the article as a whole. Cuprum17 (talk) 17:31, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- If a link is 404'd due to a server migration, a version copied at the Internet Archive is a valid substitute. That might help with the issue for some of the sourcing. oknazevad (talk) 01:40, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

I dispute the idea(in note1) that the CG is older than the US Navy. The material in the article provides all the reasons to reject that idea. The modern CG as we know it was created in 1915 by merging two different services. One service had a very different misison then that of the CG today. You cant really trace the history prior to it. But lets suppose you can and you want to say that the CG traces itself to 1790 with the Revenue Collection then you have to allow the US Navy to trace its history to the Continental Navy. The fact is the CG was created in 1915 not 1790. The Navy is mentioned in the Constitution not the CG or even its predecessor services. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2c7:97f:c2d7:4565:a39d:e088:a634 (talk) 19:05, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
