Since 1945, prior to 2003 it was DOT, and for some time before that it was the Department of the Treasury.

Only during a declared war, and subject to the direction of the president, does the CG become a function of the navy.

They are separate because they have totally different mission sets, one fights wars, the other one protects our national interests though maritime security, safety, environmental protection, and treaty enforcement.
