Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed seeing this. Signed, former Gunners Mate Third Class Dennis Quigley. USCGC Midgett 726 Commissioning Crew. P.S. I agree with Sean Monaghan above, hard to believe my “brand new” cutter is soon to be decommissioned.
Gallatin’71 -73 Gov. Is. I disagree with the broadcaster. It wasn’t a cool job; it was an ADVENTURE. Many Great Sea Stories from the Arctic to GITMO. Go Guard !👍🏻🇺🇸
I was on the Dallas WHEC 716 WESTPAC cruise (Vietnam) 69-70 as a SNGM/GM3, now retired CWO4WEPS

You obviously knew captain rice! He was my father in law! Floyd would be cursing about sending the midgett to nam! It was his baby!
I was on USCGC Gallatin from 2007-2010. Wild times!
I was on the Abseacon for two years, good duty.
I was on this ship 35 years ago!
This was really cool!
I was stationed on the CGC Midgett! I miss that ship, I can’t believe she is getting decommissioned soon :(
Sean Monaghan I hope to join once I finish high school.

The CIWS gun has gotta be the one of the coolest guns in the WORLD.
Change my mind....I’ll wait.

What kind of cutter is it? From the design I’m guessing a 270 foot cutter?
378
