The patrol boat ' ' Sturgeon ' ' based at Monterey, and the patrol boats 

 "Perch" and "Quinnatt III" based in the San Francisco Bay District 

 were requisitioned by the United States Coast Guard in September, 1942. 

 This equipment was sold outright to the War Shipping Administration 

 after rather lengthy negotiations. 



The patrol boats "Tuna," "Yellowtail" and "Broadbill" were 

 chartered to the Coast Guard in August of 1942. Under the terms of 

 this charter, we expect this equipment to be returned. 



The only remaining patrol boat, the "Bonito" is operating in south- 

 ern California waters. 



To supplement the marine patrol in the bay area a 19-foot open 

 launch was purchased in February of 1943, this boat being of shallow 

 draft, makes it possible to cover more of the restricted waters in the 

 bay area.
