FOULED ANCHOR

Greater love for "others' love of life

Seems " right-mind" is definitive.

Bide not to deny

No one wants to talk about the fallout from this event though! Fukushima is still leaking into the sea and the air!

I used to work for Alaska Tanker 🎉

Wonderful memorial for a great person.

I recognized that area, and have brought boats out of Tomales Bay thru waves like that. I am so glad there are USCG folks in the area!

you guys are spending my tax money wisely haha

🙌🏽🙌🏽Congratulations 🎉

Im planning to become a rescue swimmer when i get out of high school. Im good at swimming, plus, im a boy scout, so hopefully, the skills i get from that can help me in the coast guard academy.

Served on the Rush 1974-75. Home port then was in Alemeda, California across from Jack London square. The Rush conducted fisheries patrols in the Aleutian Islands and in the Gulf of Alaska. We seized 3 Japanese fishing vessels which were illegally fishing and conducted 2 Medivacs of badly burned freighter seamen. One of the Medivacs involved the first landing of a Navy twin rotor helo on the flight deck of a 378 and the first satellite video consult from an offshore onsite cutter with medical personnel at the VA hospital in San Francisco. This was an interesting adventure for an 18 year old.

*SIMPLY PIRANHAS...👍🇺🇲*

Semper Paratus Mates!

I remember that ship well. My husband at the time served on that boat. The men he served with were a fine group of men. I cried when I saw the replay of the sinking of this ship. Anyone that served on the Coast Guard Cutter Spike back in 1982 and 1983 leave a message and how to get intouch. Let's get together and have a reunion.

The boat is close to the beach 😳😱

James, your father was my Engineering Petty Officer ( EPO ) when I was stationed in Depoe Bay, Or. in the early 80s. I was saddened when I heard of his passing and would like to express my condolences to you and your family. I live in Florida and someday hope to visit the ship named after him but I will always know it as “ Rudy “

I just finished A Speck in the Sea, what a awesome book.

Kyle and Garrett I am so grateful you have made it back to port every time since. Good luck every tuna season

Can coast guardsmen go to other schools, like airborne if a slot is available since the school is open to all branches?

BRRRRRRRRRRT

Bravo Zulu

My god, that ship is already 14+ years old. Where does the retired time go.

Thank you for your service. I was on this boat when this occurred. The US Coast Guards did an outstanding job. The Navy veteran they rescued is doing very well.

Not reasonable as the yellow strap (on boat's port side) was taut so straps and ropes flipped it - - not the boat righting itself - - - by itself.

Don't listen to any of the Coasties posting on here that they stay on the boats by using safety belts. They're just being modest. They stay on deck thanks to the weight of their ginormous BRASS BALLS! Well done, Coast Guard! Semper Paratus!!!

The men and women in the U.S.C.G. are awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍

360 no sink

BEST MUSIC EVER...

What is this music??!? 😂😂😂

Thanks, CG6035 crew!!!!

really think we need to bring back loran

I built that boat

This new class of Cutter (NSC) should have come out of the shipyard armed like a US Navy FFG. Unfortunately congress likes to spend money on pet projects that keep getting them elected. I believe that the day is coming when we will wish that they were fitted out like a FFG.

My Father served on board of this Cutter in the early 70's as a CPO. God bless him and the crew for serving our country. RIP Dad...

Sooooo coooool

Amazing look at that surge you can’t even see the ground

can't take this 80s porn music

Served 5 years on 3 different CG cutters. I can tell you that is one miserable ride! At the age of 63, my next cruise is with Princess :-)

How do they keep the boat from not just translating sideways while it’s being pulled over?

٩لسفليانيص

I want one

I worked at the Loran station on attu in the early 90s a very interesting place lots of history did a lot of hiking took tons of pictures wish I could see it again

Awesome great job 👏 no need for that crappy music with it though🤣

👍👁❤

A sad fact about one man in particular on the White Alder crew Walton O'Quinn . I served with him in Viet Nam and he had no injuries there after a two tour time . RIP Brother along with your crew . GBNF ...

That’s my step grandpa

Wow

Near a dock in port, very nice. Ocean: "Yes very nice, don't come over here, I only play in the major leagues."
