Just FYI you might want to reconsider your branding. Using the term "Coast Guard" in pretty much any capacity without written authorization is a felony.

Interesting, I was not aware.

Well fortunately it's the name of a local observability ui and not the actual product. We'll change it if it becomes a problem.

Super not true. Unless they're actively _impersonating_ a Coast Guard officer and acting overtly in that purported role, there's no crime. Simply having a thing called "coast guard" doesn't run afoul of anything. (18 USC SS 912/913).
