WHEC-36. Ocean Weather Patrol, one of the most demanding of the many diversified missions performed by the Coast Guard, began in early 1940 and continued for 37 years. Ocean Weather Patrol was a program in which Coast Guard cutters were assigned to a 10-mile square “Station” on the high seas, and while there, provided world-wide weather forecasting information, collected oceanographic date, and provided emergency navigation assistance and rescue aid for ships and aircraft in distress. "Ocean Station Charlie" was one of eight permanent Ocean Stations under the operational control of the Coast Guard’s North Atlantic Ocean Patrol (NORLANOPAT).
