I guess we could post this kind of info, since the local newpaper state how long we were out for, ever time we would pull in, just can't say the dates.
With my unit we are out around 54-60days. Our inports are always 1 1/2 months plus a couple days. Your deployment days can be longer, depending on how many cutters are operational. If a cutter goes to emergency dry dock or dry dock that can add more days to a underway way period. I personally have never seen an u/w period that was shortened unless something happen to the cutter.
I remember back in 2000, an u/w period for my old 210 was 1 1/2 months and inport was 1 1/2 months, that being said i also was on a 1 in 4/5 inport watch now it is around 1 in 10/11/12 GPOW. So give and take. 9/11 has alot to do with these long u/w periods fm what i was told. Plus it isn't bad once you find your groove, get ready for "Now duty ET lay to the bridge" atleast once a day. Makes me wonder how 87'/110's make it a day u/w.
