Sec. 145. Navy Department

    (a) The Secretary of the Navy, at the request of the Secretary may, 
with or without reimbursement for the cost thereof, as agreed:
        (1) build any vessel for the Coast Guard at such Navy yards as 
    the Secretary of the Navy may designate;
        (2) receive members of the Coast Guard for instruction in any 
    school, including any aviation school maintained by the Navy, and 
    such members shall be subject to the regulations governing such 
    schools; and
        (3) permit personnel of the Coast Guard and their dependents to 
    occupy any public quarters maintained by the Navy and available for 
    the purpose.

    (b) Officers and enlisted men of the Coast Guard shall be permitted 
to purchase quartermaster supplies from the Navy and the Marine Corps at 
the same price as is charged the officers and enlisted men of the Navy 
and Marine Corps.
    (c) When the Coast Guard is operating in the Department of 
Transportation, the Secretary shall provide for such peacetime training 
and planning of reserve strength and facilities as is necessary to 
insure an organized, manned, and equipped Coast Guard when it is 
required for wartime operation in the Navy. To this end, the Secretary 
of the Navy for the Navy, and the Secretary of Transportation, for the 
Coast Guard, may from time to time exchange such information, make 
available to each other such personnel, vessels, facilities, and 
equipment, and agree to undertake such assignments and functions for 
each other as they may agree are necessary and advisable.

Stat. 406; Pub. L. 94-546, Sec. 1(11), Oct. 18, 1976, 90 Stat. 2519;

                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Subsection (a) is based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Secs. 28, 42, 
57 (Aug. 29, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 601; July 3, 1926, ch. 742, 
Sec. 11, 44 Stat. 817.) Subsection is enlarged to make reimbursement for 
the building of ships or the training of personnel dependent on 
agreement of the Secretaries, and to include all schools operated by the 
Navy, rather than aviation schools only.
    Subsection (b) is based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 31 (Mar. 
6, 1920, ch. 94, Sec. 1, 41 Stat. 506).
    Subsection (c) is new. This subsection enacts what has been the 
practice of the Navy and Coast Guard in keeping the Coast Guard trained 
to ``come on board with some muscle'' in time of emergency.
    Section 3 of this title deals with the relationship of the Coast 
Guard to the Navy Department. This section deals with cooperation with 
the Navy. Whereas the status of the Coast Guard in time of war was 
treated in chapter 1 of this title, this section has application in time 
of peace when the Coast Guard is not under the Navy Department.
    Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No. 
557.
