I was stationed on the Chase WHEC 718 right out of FRAM 1991 in Boston, completed sea trials and moved to San Pedro CA summer of '91. Used to love being in engineering A-gang and trained on boarding party fall of 1991. Loved that ship so much along with her crew. Still some of the fondest memories I have. Being stationed on the end of Hanover St. in Boston which was the center of little Italy, some of the crazy stuff with the Hamilton we did and will always love Bean town!
You muse have been on the Chase. I was on the Hamilton until 1983. Yes the end of Hanover on Commercial street was a great location. Many popular Boston locations at your doorstep.
6:55... I was onboard USCGC Jarvis from June 2008 to June 2011. I retired from the USCG and of all my units/stations, CGC Jarvis was my 2nd best unit Ive served in my career. CGC Polar Star is the first.
Reported aboard Midgett (WHEC-726) 7 days after graduating from boot camp (in Alameda) in 1975 and got underway for my first ALPAT 8 days after graduating from boot camp! I left Midgett after 6 months for GMA school and was assigned to Chase (WHEC-718) out of Boston '76-'77. My tour was cut short because they needed a GM3 on the Sedge (WLB-402) in Homer, AK. Of course the GM detailer decided to send me (who wasn't due for rotation and had requested only east coast sea duty billets) and not my shipmate who WAS due for rotation and had requested sea duty in Alaska for his next assignment! After 2 years on Sedge, it was shore duty in Long Beach, then Santa Barbara, then the PACAREA training team in Alameda, finally getting back to sea on the Morgenthau (WHEC-722) out of Alameda from '83-'86. Man, I loved sea duty and really miss being underway...sigh. Thanks for this video and the walk down memory lane.
@@genechronister7085 For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the Midgett's CO when I was stationed on her, but I do remember that he was very short (in stature). He often commented to the QMOW that he hated being piped aboard or ashore when in port..."Now, Midgett arriving". "Now, Midget aboard". and "Now, Midgett departing". "Now, Midgett ashore." Good times...
@@genechronister7085 Captain F. A. Rice was on Midgett when they photographed the album cover for Jefferson Airplane. Boy scout on flight deck. I arrive to Midgett in 1980.
Served on the Midgett in 1980. Heavy seas in the bearing sea, ["weather decks secure, weather deck secure"]. I chose to go up to the flying bridge to get fresh air. Two waves in a row went over my head...on the flying bridge....insane.
I served USCG Evergreen, 73-74 International Ice Patrol...... USCG EAGLE, summer of 76, "OP Sail 76" Tall Ship Race from Boston-Bermuda- N.Y. City for the bi-centenial celebration in N.Y. harbor. Great duty!!
@chrisconnell6930 Did you retire from the C.G.? I went from the Mellon to the small boat station (Coast Guard Group Seattle) as the stations electrian. From there to an ANT Team in Gulfport, Ms. I got out of the C.G. in 1987, to pursue the career I am presently retired from. But yea... CG was a stepping stone, I differently grew up / matured from my time as a coastie! 👊
@@stevegonzales3612 did not retire, 12 years though. After Mellon went to MST school and then the J. After that, other assignments in the Alameda area and then Seattle MSO. Were you there when we stenciled CGC Campbell?
@chrisconnell6930 A friend of mine was stationed at Seattle MSO (Jim Porter)? I arrived on board the Mellon around Aug of 1980. I left the Mellon in 1982 and went to Coast Group Seattle small boat station as their EM. In 1984, I extended another 3 years since EM'S were in high demand, and I got a nice bonus. While at the small boat station, I was enjoying the law enforcement aspect of the C.G. as they sent me for 5 weeks to Modesto, CA police academy. I also took advantage of the fact I was able to take college classes at night. I eventually went to an ANT Team in Gulfport Ms, where I finished up college and decided to get out after my 7 yrs. I was 25 yrs old and became a Police Officer, before I got accepted to the U.S. Justice Dept. I retired from the bureau in 2012 and felt I made all the right decisions afforded me, and I am at peace with my life.
PROUDLY SERVED on THE CHASE! Mostly Alaska Patrols! Crossed iTHE Pannama Canal Cruised The Caribbean and invaded Haiti (94?) They had a coupe. GUNNERMATES RULE!
@@jonathanp1884 Seaman, I'm pretty sure. IIRC he wanted to be a gunners mate. How about Master Chief Dudley, or a guy named Michael Hume, got shot in the stomach in Boston just before we deployed? Long time ago, I was only on the Ham for around 4 or 5 months before I went to ET school on Governors Island.
I was on the Morgenthau 91 - 93 station Alameda Ca and lost track of the time I've been away from her. I miss the sound of the fuel transfer pump putting me to sleep at night. Sorry to see she has been sold I hope they take good care of her.
Straight to the RUSH 723 from Alameda, sailed with her 21/2 years 2 as #1 boat engineer. They actually put Admiral Merlin in my boat and expected us to stay in the water😂
I was stationed on the USCGC 720 Cutter Sherman 85- 87 and she went in to be refitted in Seattle, after that I have no idea if she went back to Coast Guard Island or not but I was sent to the MORGENTHAU then Coast Guard Island.
The Mighty "J" NAQD 79'-81'....Squirmin Sherman NMMJ 81'-84. my rate is no more, was replaced by satellites and Boatswain mates. had a great time at sea, I miss both of these old Berring Sea mules.
I was on the Boutwell 1992-1994. Great tour! Got to see Japan, Guam, Pohnpei in Micronesia, Honolulu, Adak (ok), Saipan, Midway. Navy see the world? Ha ha.
Sharp looking vessels I must add. Liked their ability to put the fantail below sea level when full throttle turbines. I bet there are very few Sonar Techs. in the CG that detected and chased a Russian nuclear sub. When I was on the Midgett Alaska patrol, during a fishery bust of a huge Russian canning vessel, I went active sonar when boarding ended and BOOM received a huge return, ran outside and saw nothing on the surface, ran into CIC and reported "Bridge sonar, contact bearing 050 range ....right here" Bridge announces GQ and we chased it for only a few minutes. Radio to west coast US sub control [whatever they called it] and there were no US or US ally subs in that area. This was during cold war. After 1 yar in Alameda [Midgett], moved to Hamilton [81 - 82] and detected 2 subs down in the Carribean. That was when we were on drug and Haitian interdiction mission. Good experience but got out after 4 because sonar was worthless in the USCG, and the XO didn't let me go to academy with basketball scholarship.

Nice Videos. But double check the homeports info. Several were incorrect. Sherman WHEC 720 Homeports Boston, Alameda CA, San Diego CA now in HI. I sailed on Sherman PRE and POST Frame. Both time out of Alameda.
@@Kpoole35 Most I seen on this Video was correct, maybe a few other missing some ports. But I know Sherman was never Home ported in Seattle. Been there but not homeported there.
Wow, back when they had sonar capabilities. I was on watch on the Midgett [1979], ST3 when we chased a Russian sub immediately after boarding/busting a huge Russian canning vessel near Alaska. Do you remember ST Ken Leisher?
I was a few years behind you Chuck. ST school in 1979, then 1 year on the Midgett and 2 years on the Hamilton (ST2). retired after 4 years because sonar was a waist of time and money. Abolished sonar in USCG 8 years later.
How do you get laid off from the Coast Guard?. Either you voluntarily leave when enlistment is up or voluntarily retire after required time unless things has de=raticly changed since I retired 44 years ago
Served on the Dallas out of New York on Ocean Station Echo near Bermuda before it was ugly women's shorts. The Dallas is now the pride of the Plip Navy. Hope my old Coastie Plip Buddies are doing better than me.

Either a big white cutter or teaching in SD. You had to be an E-6 (1st class) or higher to get a teaching job, if I re-enlisted I was going to go for that job. #3 We were in Weapons division. Those of us who were interested in qualifying for boarding parties and such were welcomed. I did and it was a lot of fun. We also skated through drills and such as we had the most top security on the boat....most crew weren't even allowed in many of our spaces. #4 Very good background in digital and analog electronics and electro-mechanical systems.
