Local Coast Guard stations?

[Starion]

Anyone know if Washington D.C. has a Coast Guard Station with boats? I know here is a station in Annapolis, MD.

The Transpoint building and headquarters is near 2nd St. and V St. SW. I don't know if the headquarters actually launches boats for search and rescue missions.

I think the US Park Police and other counties assist with search and rescue and broken-down boats.

The Coast Guard marine transmitter must be nearby. I can hear announcments from Baltimore Maryland Activities.

I think there is also a Coast Guard station in Alexandria, but I don't know if they launch boats or helicopters either.

Just wondering.

From the CHM site ( http://www.henney.com/chm/1200/ ):

156.85 VHF 17 DC Harbor Patrol

157.05 VHF 21 DC Coast Guard

Also worth throwing in additional regional CG freqs which likely would get frequent use down that way 156.8, 157.1, 157.075, 157.125, 157.15, 157.175, 345.000, 237.9, 326.15, 379.05.

Thanks for the information eveyone. I didn't know that the station was in Bolling Airforce Base.

And thanks for sharing the marine frequencies. The only ones I am familliar with are channel 16 and 22.
