But thanks for sharing that picture with me...i know Eagle has a rich history but it's awesome to see it first hand!

How cool is that?!

Awesome pictures, Rob.

I, too, believe I took a tour of that boat probably 15 years ago, if that was possible. Confidence in this statement is probably hovering around 50%.

Considering the ship was taken from Germany as a war prize during WWII, and has been with the USCG ever since, its a highly likely possibility!

This picture is from a couple weeks, VADM Parker, Atlantic Area Commander, addresses the current crew...not much has changed!
