Has the research aspect ever been more than a fig leaf and a "might as well"? Strong parallel to rockets and high-altitude planes used for atmospheric research

  That, I can't say. I was at the commisioning of the Coast Guard R&D Center in Groton, 50+ years ago, and it moved across the river to a big facility in New London. Here is the place to look for research. I did look up the R&D center a while back with my impending 50 year anniversary of service. I was in the Physics branch and knew buddies in oceano. Our guy Dennis got multispectral photos of ice with a Hasselblad UV-Sonnar. Quartz and CaF elements. Who can forget that? https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Acquisitions-CG-9/Research-Development-Test-and-Evaluation/Research-and-Development-Center/ https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Command...
