Coast Guard One would be the air traffic control call sign of any United States Coast Guard aircraft carrying the President of the United States. Similarly, any Coast Guard aircraft carrying the Vice President is designated Coast Guard Two.
As of 2012, there has never been a Coast Guard One flight. Coast Guard Two was activated on September 25, 2009, when Vice President Joe Biden took a flight on CG 6019, a Sikorsky HH-60 Jayhawk helicopter, over the recently flooded Atlanta area.

“How happy is the sailor’s life,
From coast to coast to roam;
In every port he finds a wife,
In every land a home.”
