This is a great read. I've sailed aboard Bear, Tampa and Dependable.

More history to follow.

I hope the CG gets to work on building the new Offshore Patrol Cutter soon to replace these WMECs. They are in sad shape, and the CG is struggling to keep them running.

I have great respect for the USG. My dad was a USCG WWII veteran.
