Kime was born in Greensboro, North Carolina.

At the age of 10, he moved with his family to Baltimore, Maryland.

1951

In 1951, he graduated from Baltimore City College, and was accepted into the School of Pharmacy at the University of Maryland, but declined the admission offer for financial reasons.

Soon thereafter, he accepted a job at the local General Motors plant, installing glove boxes in Chevrolets.

The following year, he saw a television advertisement on Coast Guard careers, which inspired him to enroll at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.

1957

In 1957, Kime graduated second in his academy class.

1960

Upon graduation, he served aboard USCGC Casco (WAVP-370) before assuming command of LORAN Station Wake Island in 1960.

1964

Continuing his education, he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a master's degree in naval architecture and marine engineering and the professional degree of naval engineer in 1964.

He also was in charge of the structural design of the Polar-class icebreakers and was the first engineer officer on USCGC Boutwell (WHEC-719), home ported in Boston, Massachusetts.

1977

1990

As commandant, Kime was passionate about maritime safety and environmental protection issues, and oversaw implementation of the landmark Oil Pollution Act of 1990 in the wake of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, he pioneered how the Coast Guard prevents and responds to oil and hazardous chemical spills, significantly minimizing environmental damage.

The groundwork he laid can also be seen in how the Coast Guard responds to a broad range of threats and hazards to maritime, homeland, and national security interests.

His vision set the stage for the Coast Guard's transition to focused organizational competencies in prevention and response.

He led the service during the end of the Cold War, collapse of communism, Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, as well as increasing operations in traditional mission areas and established the position of Drug Interdiction Coordinator.

1994
