A governor of a coastal or Great Lakes state can ask the President to have the Navy lend a qualifying military school a cutter boat and other seamanship equipment. The school needs cutter drill facilities and at least 75 uniformed cadets aged 15 or older living in barracks, with capacity for 150. The school must post a bond worth double the equipment's value.

(a) On the application of a governor of a state with a seacoast or a border on the Great Lakes, the President may direct the Secretary of the Navy to lend one well-established military school in that state — if it wants to teach cadets elementary seamanship — one fully equipped cutter boat for every 25 cadets, plus other spare equipment needed for seamanship instruction. (b) To qualify for this loan, a school must: (1) have adequate cutter drill facilities; (2) have at least 75 cadets who are (A) at least 15 years old, (B) in uniform, (C) receiving military instruction, and (D) living in barracks under military rules; and (3) be able to house and educate 150 cadets at once. (c) Whenever the Navy makes such a loan, the Secretary must require a bond worth double the property's value, to guarantee its care and return.
