They forgot to add that Bofors is from Sweden =)

The current USCG 378 foot High Endurance Cutters are armed with one 3 inch (75 mm approx.), two 25 mm and one 20 mm guns. Going to a 57 mm gun would be a downgrade, if you were comparing max bore size.

The USCG has a deep water mission which requires greater firepower than you would limit them to. They are serving in the Persian Gulf now and were in combat during Viet Nam.

@Spike20TRILLION Bofors did manufacture a 120 mm naval gun capable of 40 rounds per minute. Far from 220/min, but still pretty good.

@bwhip You still need missiles for longer ranges. No one would actually use a 75 mm gun at maximum range. A 57 mm is just meant as an all around weapon system, you would have to be pretty dumb to use this weapon in all out war against an equal opponent.
