Yep. And noted for being assigned to "guard" station at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay in 1952. Her hull designation was changed from WPG-80 to WAGE-10. Painted bright yellow with the word "Guard" in black, the Tahoma identified all incoming vessels. The approaching vessels identified themselves by radio, giving name, nationality, home port, last port of call, destination, and estimated time of arrival at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. So we have "white hulls," "black hulls," "red hulls" and, for a short period of time a "yellow hull."

And Gray Hulls

Is the scramble "scrambled?" I want to say Point Heyer, but it doesn't come out right...

Of course, it may not even be an 82' WPB.

It isn't, but keep thinking.

Correct. A 175-foot Keeper Class Coastal Buoy Tender.

1942-1945 Cutter Danmark
A square-rigged Danish sail ship, Danmark was sailing in U.S. waters when Nazis overran Denmark. The ship’s captain placed the ship and the crew at the disposal of the American government and was invited to serve at the Academy. The captain and his crew remained aboard Danmark and helped train cadets at the Academy throughout the war years.

Yep, and as the story goes: When the Danmark first moored at the Academy, it was offered tug assistance. The Danmark's Captain declined the offer, sailed up the Thames, came about, and proceeded to dock the ship with no tug and under sail!!!! (With the Eagle, it always seemed like a major operation; two tugs; and a lot of wasted time.)

Lantana

The USCGC Lantana (WAGL-310) was a river "pusher" tender designed to operate in tandem with a working barge. Her barge, built in 1929 by Jones & Loughlin Steel Corporation, carried the hull number CGB-41. She was also outfitted with a removable ice-breaking prow for use in the winter as an icebreaker.

YEATON

USCGC Yeaton--a 125-foot steel-hulled, diesel-powered Coast Guard cutter--was completed in 1927 at Camden, N.J., by the American Brown Boveri Electric Corp. She was commissioned into Coast Guard service soon thereafter. She initially served at Norfolk Va., in 1928 and successively at St. Petersburg, Fla., from 1929 to 1931; at Pascagoula, Miss., in 1932 and 1933; back at St. Petersburg in 1934; at Gulfport, Miss., from 1935 to 1938; at Stapleton, N.Y., in 1939; and at Gallups Island, Mass., in 1940. When the Coast Guard came under Navy control in 1941, Yeaton most probably operated on patrol duties. No records of the ship's wartime service have been found, however, leaving one only to conjecture. Sometime in 1942, the ship was classified as a patrol craft and given the hull number WPC-156.

After World War II, Yeaton resumed operation with the Coast Guard, out of New, London, Conn. In the 1960's, the Coast Guard reclassified the ship as a medium endurance cutter (WMEC) and gave her the identification WMEC--156. Yeaton was eventually decommissioned and laid up in 1970.
