I was stationed on the CGC Morgenthau from Jan 1976 until Aug 1976. While I was on her, we went to Gitmo, and was involved in Operation Sail 76. It was a short time but it was a lot of good memories. I remember BM2 'Cadillac Jack' Jackaweitz from Brooklyn, NY. and my good friend and shipmate Steve Gannon. Those were some good times, even if I was on deck force.
On 06/30/99 Steve Gannon (TASHBY@prodigy.net) said:

Would be nice to hear from you all. Anyone heard from Dwight Burridge ?? last up in Wilkes Barre Pa .Has it really been that long ago ?
On 06/08/99 Becky Post (rpost@gateway.net) said:
I was stationed aboard from 1977 thru 1979, one of the first twelve women assigned. What a trip. Came on as a SN and left as a BM2. Nice to hear from Paul Sweeney, Rodger O'Day and Jim Woodle. I completed five ALPATS, 1 REFTRA, 2 FLEETEX's and a couple of yard periods. We were in a graving dock in Richmond, they had removed the Sonar dome and then lost electricity to the pumps. We were afraid we were gonna flood in the yards. I've got some super photos of the Morg in the inland passage (with blue skies).

I can say her last name but I sure can't spell it. Anyway, I'm still in and awaiting orders to Cape May to push boots. It's still fun for me. Sunshin, I can still see your blonde hair trailing behind you as you ran through you house as a kid. I'm sure you'll do great! Your relatives are all great people. Tony

On 10/04/98 Richard Linton (rlinton@dnai.com) said:
K.C. There were actually two blond female QMs in the first batch,though one didn't stay on board, and the other served for quitea while (that was Cindy Dodson). Which one were you thinking of?Actually, my fondest memory of the first Alpat was turning the ship around in Sitka harbor, much to the consternation of the residents of that marina we shoved the bow well into. I stillhave the local paper that had the Morg on the front cover.

On 08/12/98 MK1 Dave OZZY Osborne (Snipe005@Citlink.com) said:
I was on her when she came out of FRAM in 91'. This was my 2nd tour on the white needles of death. Being a 378 sailor really means something. There was alot of hard times, but alot of good times. Between tours on boutwell and the MORG Iv'e been to 4 Refras, 8 or 9 Alpats. Saw some great ports like the unforgetable Dutch Harbor, Attu, Adak, and St Paul Island. All these fun and Exciting ports that Cruise ships would'nt go. Aren't we all lucky. I would'nt trade my 5 years, 2 months and 29 days on 378s. I worked in Main Prop ( THE HOLE ). Thats where the crazy people are kept.

On 10/28/97 Jim Meehan (Bourree@aol.com) said:
Halloween!! Twenty-eight years have passed since the first Halloween Party that was celebrated within the bulkheads of the Good Ship Morgenthau. The outpouring of participation was remarkable. It was thought that it would be a basic party with a handful of costumed sailors showing up, but it was much more than that. I can remember the Ops Rec Deck being a beehive of activity as we tried to come up with costumes to outdo each other, and it was not confined to the Ops section. There were participants from every area on the ship. There was a prize for the best costume (I think I should have won, but I remember the prize going to DCC Al Hebert) (I think the selection was political, but who am I) What was the prize? A superb dining experience at HECTOR'S HASH HOUSE, hosted by none other than our leader, James Hector (see his remarks at the table). The highlight of the evening for me was when Lt. Jim Woodle (M.C. for the evening because he was the only one on board who could operate a microphone) made the announcement that the Great Pumpkin had made a visit to the ship. He was tipped off that a handful of enlisted men (with some officer participation) stole into officer country with weather balloon and air hose in trail and proceeded to blow up that balloon in LTJG Hank Post's stateroom. Mr. Post had to pop the balloon in order to gain entrance into the room, and as I recall, there was a bit of a mess to be cleaned up afterwards. That was one of a few thousand practical jokes that were played out on the ship during its first year. The good natured fun was some of the stuff that solidified the crew. I'd be interested in hearing about some of the jokes/pranks pulled throughout the years.

Together with my 4th stripe I rec'd orders as PCO to Morgenthau, becoming CO 10 March 1969. I was told by HQ that it would be a ship of JUST MADE IT's and most of us in the crew had just been adavanced to our assigned rank or rate. The plank owner crew was without question the finest group of Coast Guardsmen ever assembled as a crew. I mentioned this to a District Commander who told me that I was looking at the world thru rose colored glasses, he was wrong. I was seeing it thru the eyes of guy who had spent well over 50% of his service on operational units.The crew was so good that we were given on informal E at GTMO on shake down. The crew was so good that one month after our commissioning when a 311 scheduled for deployment to NAM brokedown I was told by my Area Commander that Morgenthau because of her high state of morale and readiness was to be deployed with in next month.Rose Colored Glasses be dammed. Just the Best Dammed Crew any ship or station ever had.I have been called many names in my career some not fit to print on Morgenthau I became known as JAMES HECTOR and to this day I wear it with pride and affection.

Wow, I almost get misty eyed reading about the stories of the old lady. I served aboard Morgenthau (Seven Double Duce) from December 30, 1995 to August 11, 1988. I did about five ALPATS, with a visit to Attu, is there still a loran station there? My last cruise was to Tokyo Japan in '88. There used to be a broken oar on the mess deck. It was broken during the SAR games at the World's Fair in Vancouver in '86. I've not had a great desire to go back to sea after leaving the Guard, but after reading of the West Pac, I'de like to have done that one! I remember giving up leave to do a Drug Pat on Bear. I've got a great picture of the Morg at the fule dock in Kodiak. There used to be a copy outside the CO's cabin before whe was FRAMED. I guess there's a lot of new rates now. I came on board as an SNRD and left as an RD 3 with a second major in Electronic Warfare . . . me and Point Loma are old friends. Is Morg still out of Alameda CA? I was far from perfect but did my job well -- very well. I'm proud to have served on her. Oh, by the way, does the near collision story with the USS Germantown still float around? It's very true and let no bridge hand forget and let no RD ever say "I wasn't the Watch Sup."

I'm a present crewmember on the Morgenthau, and I was suprised to see that there was a reunion. We just got back on Christmas day from a WESTPAC deployment with the Navy to the Arabian gulf, a rather long deployment and a first for a cutter to that part of the world. I'm the 1STLT on there so STC's niece works for me, she's a good worker. I tried recalling the article on the Morgenthau's deployment to Viet Nam but was unable to, as AOL keeps telling me they don't recognize the URL. Can anyone help me get this? We have a brass plate in the wardroom that was made from the prop that was broken after Morgenthau ran aground, and everyone onboard is curious as to what "the rest of the story" is.

I was on this one from 82 - 85. Came on as a ST1 and worked for "Cactus" Pinch. Good tour in spite of divorcing my first wife. My neice Sunshine is a SN on it now striking cook. She couldn't even microwave water so I know the food won't change. I always had plenty of PB&J in my locker. Did a shit load of ASW (back when the CG did ASW), played fisheries with Fred Poppowell (certified PSYCHO).

I am the coordinator for the Morgenthau's Vietnam Crew. I have put together and placed on the Internet a rather detailed account of the Morgenthau's Vietnam deployment. The history is located at http://198.216.5.20/~eugenet/Morgenthau.html

I just want to give credit where credit is due. The article I submitted is a melding of two official Coast Guard "blurbs" about the Morgenthau with a little of me put in for good measure. The photo came into my possession after the Plank Owner Reunion. Lou (Ret. CWO4) and Cora Jensen are the proud owners of the photo, and graciously sent me negatives they had made along with a couple of prints. I had a friend of mine scan the photo for me, and I forwarded the file to Jerry Lentz to have it downsized, who in turn sent it on to Fred (our hero), who placed it in our Table. Thanks to Lou, Cora, Pete (my friend/co-worker), Jerry and finally, Fred. I'd also like to thank the photographer, but I don't know who he or she is. If anyone knows the person who took the photo let him/her know that I have taken the liberty to share the "masterpiece" with all who visit our "Table".

I rode the Morg. around from NY to SF in '77' and served 2½ years until discharged at the end of '79' I made 5 ALPATS on her. made friends I'm still in contact with and some I'd like to hear from again. Best memory; 1st ALPAT, rebuilt both mains, and lost both boilers. Did the whole patrol in January with no heat or water. What fun we had. came on as Mk3 left as Mk2.

Greetings to all former and present "Morgies"! I am a Plank Owner from the Original Commissioning way back in 1969. Came aboard as an ET3 and left as an ET2. Many fond memories of the ship and our crew. We had our first reunion this past July and had a great time "Living in the Past". Looking forward to our next reunion in 1999.
