I slept in TANEY berthing while the HAMILTON was in the yards in Baltimore. Taney was a training ship for steam propulsion plants in Baltimore, wasn’t it? I much later helped deliver BIBB (WHEC-31) out of New Bedford, MA to the salvage company as part of the post-decom crew. Then on to CHASE.

Ha! Probably slept in the same bunk, though 20 years later! My time was in the mid-1960's out of Alameda, CA.
I'm glad that at least one of the 327 ft. cutters got saved. A grand relic of the age of steam - trains and ships.
