Dangerous Seas - Clip

The U.S. Coast Guard has emerged as one of America's most important and potent forces in the post-Cold War era. But little is known about this vital branch of the armed services.

Made with the full cooperation of the Coast Guard, this all-access special captures the danger and daring of their duties. Go to sea aboard the 110-foot cutter Farallon on a month-long Caribbean patrol, inspecting suspected drug smugglers and helping with the multi-national task force that restored democracy to Haiti. Meet the brave crews that risk their lives in 44-foot rescue boats in the waters off Oregon's Cape Disappointment, and hear incredible stories of their brushes with death. And visit Air Station Kodiak in Alaska, the largest Coast Guard station in the world, where they keep watch over some of the richest and most dangerous fishing grounds on earth.

It's the ultimate insider's look at the danger, excitement and adventure of life in the Coast Guard.
