This one is based in Charleston NC and is doing drug interdiction indefinitely in the Caribbean so I'm not surprised it looks a little tired.
Congress needs to replace the 378 footers asap.

I assume you mean Charleston, SC. Yeah, but most military agencies probably wouldn't allow their stuff to look so run down. My bro was in the Navy for 6 years, and I've never seen a Navy ship in my life that showed that sort of raggedness. You can get rust off metal and make it look like the ship is new. Paint job, scrubbing the rust off, etc... It's simple ship maintenance that they should be doing. Then again, it is the Coast Guard. :P
