Historie
The ship currently referred to as US Coast Guard Cutter 37 (or WHEC-37) was christened Roger B. Taney in 1936. That was formally abbreviated to Taney in 1941, the name by which the vessel was most commonly known as throughout her 50-year service life.
Taney engaged Japanese aircraft at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Today, she is the last warship afloat that was present for the attack, and one of two surviving ships from the Treasury class.
The ship served with distinction both in WWII and Vietnam and today is on display in Baltimore's Inner Harbor as part of the Historic Ships in Baltimore collection.
Readers will enjoy a detailed visual guide to this 327-foot, 20-knot, heavily armed Coast Guard cutter.
