  EPA: Federal Register: Deepwater Capability Replacement Project: Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement
The Deepwater Project is the Coast Guard's answer, ensuring the timely acquisition of appropriate resources to remedy the aging fleet dilemma and meeting deepwater mission requirements.
Deepwater missions are defined as Coast Guard operations that occur at least 50 nautical miles offshore, or require an extended on-scene presence, long transit times to reach the operations area, and/or the forward deployment of forces.
Deepwater missions typically require Coast Guard personnel to be involved in long-term, continuous missions, often with deployments away from home stations for several months on end.

Navy Pier has been a Chicago landmark since it opened in 1916, and over the past decades, thousands of skilled, unionized building and construction trades workers have helped build and refurbish this Chicago icon.
Originally called Municipal Pier, it was renamed Navy Pier in 1927 to honor those who served in the Navy during World War I. The pier was unique at the time—a working pier that served Great Lakes freighters and passenger ships but also was designed as a recreation site for Chicago’s citizens.
The pier housed classrooms for Navy aircraft mechanics and two aircraft carriers operated from the pier, with more than 15,000 Navy pilots training on the carriers.

But every time an old building comes down & a skyscraper goes up, another block of the underground is dug out, replaced with modern basement garage structure, & forever gone.
One more fragment of the underground appeared when the original Olde Curiosity Shoppe's rotting dock was torn out (the Shoppe still exists but no longer on its original pier).
At that time the free small-boat moorage was removed & the last section of Seattle waterfront where you could walk down & touch the water was never replaced (imagine a waterfront city without even a token beach -- madness).
