Discoverer during its departure to the Arctic, June 30, 2015. Coast
Guard actions are not aimed at restricting the lawful exercise of First
Amendment Rights but the Coast Guard's involvement helps ensure safety
of those using the waterway both as a forum for self-expression and as a
mode of transportation. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 1st
