Additional Details:
The Revenue Cutters are fitted with an armament qualified to impress smugglers or any other lawbreakers, whom it may be necessary to apprehend. Ordnance of four-inch calibre is the heaviest the cadets need expect to be called upon to use in actual service, and drills with a four-inch gun constitute an important feature of the practical schooling given the future officers of the service
