A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION, A scathing 60 Minutes report, unsympathetic lawmakers and a stack of negative inspector general reports have marked the Coast Guard's Integrated Deepwater Systems program the last two years.
Coast Guard and industry officials believe they have some good news to report, and look forward to the day when the mix of 11 different ships, boats, aircraft--and the information technology backbone that ties it all together--starts delivering what they promised when the program was first conceived 11 years ...
