Talk:USCGC Acacia (WLB-406)

Untitled
I removed the passage "(an unusual condition for a museum ship, typically decommissioned after years in mothball fleets" becasue ACACIA did not HAVE machineguns, nor her aft 5-inch gun, which were removed after the US/Canadian Border demilitrization (during the CARTER Administarion). In fact, the only firearms we had on-board while I served aboard her ('99-'01) were a couple of 9MM's and a shotgun (the shotgun being used very rarely to clear ice off the bouys if it was too thick for us deckies to break it off with boathooks).
 * Semper Paratus (Always Ready) is the Coast Guard’s motto; ACACIA’S motto was “Ace of the Lakes.” We (the crew) said other things, which should not be put in print.4.246.120.29 (talk) 04:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Andering J REDDSON (USCG BM³ Reserve/Active Duty SN, '99-'01).


 * Hello, I am a volunteer on the Acacia buoy tender now located in Manistee Mi. and I am looking to find the name of a sailor who was reported to have died in an accident in the 1970's. Several retired sailors have told us about this accident, however we can't locate any records on it. Can you help us with details about this, or a name or maybe point us in the right direction?
 * Thank you.

 * I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but an Acacia crewman named Dale C. Stafford drowned in a canoeing accident on Lake Huron on 17 June 1972. Jordanroderick (talk) 18:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
