As a nation at war, facing a diverse set of new challenges, the stakes are high and are growing for the United States. The nation needs to expand its 'operationalization' of the national fleet and ensure that the Coast Guard and Navy work together to most effectively utilize multimission assets. An enhanced national fleet along with international engagement in pursuit of the '1,000 ship Navy' is the most critical enabling force for securing the maritime domain. The purpose of this research paper is to present the Coast Guard Caribbean Support Tender (CST) model, which is a key and quintessential element for building international partnerships and the Thousand-Ship Navy. It provides a Combatant Commander with an economically viable, diplomatically acceptable, and operationally proven solution for increasing regional stability and building partnerships. The paper concludes with a view on how the Coast Guard's multimission capabilities and international partnerships make it an ideal contributor to the vision of a Thousand-ship Navy. Given the likelihood that some future naval conflicts will occur in the littoral versus the open ocean, the Coast Guard's unique skills must be capitalized upon and fully utilized.
