INGHAM is down in Key West if you get down that way. She's in really good shape (or at least she was in 2012 when I last saw her).

When I visited the Ingham last, it was berthed in Charleston, SC. She had no Gun Mount. She was transported to Key West since, and I hope to visit it later this year!

Just had to pipe in and comment that I was on the USCGC Madrona (WLB-302) from 1972 - 1975, as a quartermaster, out of Portsmouth, VA. I appreciated your "bulbous" reference. They could break ice, like up around Baltimore, up to a three-foot depth. I was at the Alameda boot camp, Nov 15, 1971, "Echo 83".

I reported onboard in November 1982, SNYN Yeoman right out of bootcamp. Were you still onboard at that time?

@@NOLATechy No, I left in August I think to Atlantic Bch then to Wrightville Bch all before A school in E city. I have a piece of Taney's hull from the time we were rammed on the port side by a drug vessel. Their anchor punched a small hole on the port side just under the flat gunnel near the aft bits. fist size, above the main deck. We trained the 5" on them and they heaved to quickly.

@@glhmedic , We’ll, the Canadian forest fires were manmade. Several different fires were set at the exact same time. Look it up. When was the last time that you ever heard of forest fires in Hawaii? Why, you asked? So the woke climate change scammers won’t to push this nonsensical climate change agenda. That’s why

@@glhmedic , look it up why some woke bozo in Baltimore and DC changed the name of the Taney to its number #37. This woke nonsense has gone waaaay too far

@@glhmedic The ship was named after Roger B Taney, Secretary of the Treasury at one point. She's a Treasury Class Cutter. The CG's roots go way back to The Revenue Marine created by Alexander Hamilton in 1790, and was the long arm of the law of our Federal Gov't. Taney, prior to being Sec. Of Treasury, was The chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He ruled in the Dred Scott case. Look it up. His decision was that Scott who was a slave, was property of his owner therefore even in a free state, Scott was property. Taney was a racist, however, the ship and her crews served our country for over 50 years and made her name proud fighting in 3 wars and saving countless lives. TANEY did not deserve to have her name stricken. She made that name her own from her actions, her Command and her crews. The "Woke" removed the statue of Roger B. Taney in Annapolis Md. but has not changed the name of Taneytown just north of Baltimore. The CGC Taney was a target of the left woke culture and scourge that has taken over our country. That's Why! I am more than Proud to have served aboard The Coast Guard Cutter Roger B Taney.
