Do you understand that the word "literally" is not for emphasis? I appreciate your service and hope your artificial ass is working OK.

How amazing... especially since the Cutter Hamilton was not transferred to the West Coast (San Diego) from Boston until the cold war was already over.

Must be a small box you have....
To have a basement here, you would have to spend at least a $million$ alone, to blast through the limestone, to make a hole.
It makes building a fence a real chore.

LOL!

Yes San Diego is the home port of the Hamilton.... We were never at any port for over 3 years.
I didn't arrive onboard at port and I didn't even leave at port.

The same as our sister ship. The 722 Cutter Morgenthau, who was home ported in Pearl Harbor, they were right there with us , in our tactical drills and checking buoys.

But not until the Cold War had ended.

No you are wrong. I was on the deck right after it left New Orleans in the fall of 67, on its maiden voyage through the Panama Canal, to the West Coast. It was never home ported in New Bedford.


The Cutter ESCANABA, which was replaced by the Cutter MENDOTA. in the mid 60's are the only cutter's stationed in New Bedford(not Boston, by the way)
Now we are getting way off topic... Take it to PM's

The Alexander Hamilton you are thinking of - 327, was sunk in 1942, off Iceland by a German U boat. It was navy, not CG
