US Coast Guard???

I spotted this info posted on Radio Reference a while back. It seems someone was programming up a bunch of HT1000 radios for "a Coast Guard unit" in the San Francisco Bay area. The frequencies are extremely bizarre to say the least:

430.5250
431.5250
432.7350
434.5250
436.7650
437.6250
438.5750
440.5325
440.5850
449.7125
450.5250
451.7625
455.5150
460.7750
465.5250
461.5250


Not only are these not allocated to Coast Guard usage, some of these frequencies aren't even valid US channel assignments!

Anyone want to have a guess at what they were using these for, or even if this is for real?
