Rockland, Maine is home to two nearby Coast Guard units, and is hoping to become the 9th city to be designated a "Coast Guard City" by the Commandant. Current Coast Guard cities are Grand Haven, Michigan; Eureka, California; Mobile, Alabama; Morgan City, Louisiana; Wilmington, North Carolina; Newport, Oregon; Alameda, California and Kodiak, Alaska.
UPDATE (3/17/08): Apparently Rockland is one step closer to becoming the 9th "Coast Guard City." According to the AP, Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins announced Friday that the request was approved by Coast Adm. Thad Allen.
