I didn't know difference between Navy and Coast Guard. According to this article from We Are the Mighty, the mission of the U.S. Navy is to maintain, train, and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas. The Coast Guard is a maritime law enforcement and search and rescue entity governed by Title 14 of U.S. Code and is part of the department of homeland security. I've sometimes learned a lot about the U.S. from figuring out USPS forever stamps. :)
