Coast Guard Cutter Barque Eagle // Tour

[@ImNotCreativeEnoughToMakeUser]

Fun fact: USCGC Eagle was originally the KMS Horst Wessel, a ship of the Kriegsmarine (Nazi German Navy)

Yep Of the gorch fock class of training ships. German navy also operates the second gorch fock built after the war from spare parts

[@OhioCoastie94]

To get the true EAGLE experience, one must get a steamy whiff of odor from the scullery after the evening meal.

How does one prepare/apply for this program?

[@sammybarrera]

Anybody here because of the sm striling books?

[@813kengarcia]

Awesome tour! Would love to see the Eagle in person one day!

[@Bravolesss]

man aren't I lucky, I am a cadet in the New London High School NJROTC Program and I get to go a week on here!

[@andychurches7280]

Not exactly a looker, though, is she?

[@badcornflakes6374]

Weird to say that about the sail master

[@ETC_Rohaly_USCG]

Is this who is known as “”Lady Sailmaster”?

[@normanplombe2889]

I made and deleted a snarky comment, then figured I should be more constructive. The sailmaster here made quite a few technical mistakes in her nomenclature and descriptions of equipment functions. A person in her position isn't allowed make such mistakes without embarrassing the crew and command. She does have a buoyant personality, though. No mention of the BARQUE's (not a "ship," and there are no "ships" in the Coast Guard fleet anyway, are there? None that I've ever "driven.") origins, either. Not woke to talk about that, I guess (pssst don't mention the Nazi stuff). The propaganda coming out of CGA today might as well come from UC Berkeley.

Most people don't even realize that Eagle was originally built for the Kriegsmarine

[@DemocratsRPedos]

I sailed on her back in 86, for the rededication of the Statue of Liberty. Can’t believe the first lt., is so incompetent not knowing her job. DEI alive and well in the cg. Glad I’m no longer in.
