HM Coastguard and the RNLI do different roles though - the former is more about co-ordination amongst different rescue agencies and the RNLI runs lifeboats.

mm. The loss of the RNLI would leave a major hole. More details for anyone who is interested: https://hmcoastguard.uk/news/whos-who-search-and-rescue-your...

But i still maintain HMCG best fits the description "the maritime search and rescue service for the UK". I mean, if you call RNLI with an emergency they'll tell you to hang up and dial 999.

I suppose being the UK there would never be easy answers to questions like that....
