Cosco Busan
RADM Bone came under heavy criticism for the slow-response and botched clean-up efforts of the U.S. Coast Guard in relation to the Cosco Busan oil spill, an incident whereby an oil tanker ran-into the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge.
An on-site investigation by Members of Congress took place in late 2007, inspired by media reports of the U.S. Coast Guard's slow response to the incident, and subsequent environmental damage resulting from the 58,000 gallon oil spill.
A Hearing was held before the House Infrastructure and Transportation Committee's subcommittee on November 19, 2007 the U.S. Coast Guard's response to a 58,000 gallon oil spill on the San Francisco Bay in San Francisco, California. The ten-member Congressional panel, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi., RADM Bone testified before Congress in relation to this event.
National Security Maritime Strategy
The U.S. National Security Maritime Strategy (NSMS) is closely tied to the NSPD-41/HSPD-13 Presidential Directive of 2005.
In his presentation to the House Subcommittee on USCG and Maritime Transportation, RADM Bone presented the Maritime Domain Awareness strategy as “the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime domain that could impact the security, safety, economy or environment of the United States.”
RADM Bone worked with U.S. Coast Guard’s area maritime security committees which assessed specific port vulnerabilities and created plans to address those vulnerabilities.57 These plans evaluate the overall susceptibility of marine targets, their use to transport terrorists or terror materials, and their use as potential weapons.
The Global Maritime Intelligence Integration Plan uses existing capabilities to integrate all available intelligence regarding potential threats to U.S. interests in the Maritime Domain.
