From 1980 to 1989 USCGC MUNRO (WHEC-724) was homeported at Sand Island, Honolulu

After Honlulu, she was assigned to Alameda for the 1990's and then to Alaska in 2007. I believe this is her Alameda patch but it may be more recent.

This USCG Rescue Swimmer patch came from the ASM shop at CGAirSta Corpus Christi, TX in 1999. Factory mistake- incomplete feather detail on the left side of Aircrew wing. I served there for about a year and a half.

USCGC ATTU (WPB-1317)

Island class in (short) service 1988-2006

Ironically, the "Caribbean Ninjas"

 

ATTU (WPB-1317), first of the B series boats, 9 May 1988 to December 2006 - Failed 110/123 conversion; scrapped

 

Several of these Island class patrol boats were monkeyed with and basically ruined for further service, including ATTU.  Eight (mostly A series boats) that were stretched to 123-foot vessels in a fiasco that left them riddled with hull cracks have been pulled from service and laid up for disposal (likely via reefing) at the CG Yard since 2006. They are USCGC Matagorda (WPB-1303), USCGC Manitou (WPB-1302), USCGC Monhegan (WPB-1305), USCGC Nunivak (WPB-1306), USCGC Vashon (WPB-1308), USCGC Attu (WPB-1317), USCGC Metompkin (WPB-1325), and USCGC Padre (WPB-1328).
