Naming[edit]

I decided to place the page under her USGC name since i) the bulk of her career was in the USCG, and ii) the incident for which she is most famous (the Perfect Storm rescue) happened which she was in the USGC. Also, if her status as a museum ship becomes well known, people will be looking for her under this name. Noel (talk) 14:30, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Traditions[edit]

"Following the USCG custom of naming cutters after Native American tribes, she is named after the Tamaroa tribe of the Illiniwek tribal group." This only applies to cutters of her class for the time period. There are in fact several other WHEC’s from the same time frame that were otherwise named; Currently there is the FAMOUS-Class, named for famous people associated with the Coast Guard. A buoy tender of the same time frame would normally be named for various groups of plantlife (even though now they’re apprantly being named for lighthouse keepers pursuant to Bill CLINTON’S “politically correct culture” bs).

hey REDDSON... "There are in fact several other WHEC’s from the same time frame that were otherwise named.." yea, especially since the Tamaroa was a WMEC.. not WHEC. what a douche. but it seems wiki folks did a little edit, adding in your note... Btw, one very well-known 'lady'.. that was for a time 'Queen of the Fleet'.. somewhat a sister ship to the Tamaroa and ALSO named for a Native American tribe: the USCGC Acushnet (WAGO-167, WMEC-167). 2602:304:CDAF:A3D0:A8B5:196B:333C:446A (talk) 23:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"The Coast Guard's only submarine".[edit]

IMO it should be here but I believe that decision should be up to someone else. -- Og-emmet 05:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SS Andrea Doria[edit]

The article on the SS Andrea Doria's sinking makes no mention of the Tamaroa at all, but this article says she was first on the scene...Can we get a citation for that?

This is a quote from USCGC TAMAROA 1943 a USCG.mil site "On 26 July 1956 the Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm and sank 50 miles off Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Tamaroa arrived on scene and rendezvoused with the CGC Owasco. Both cutters then escorted the damaged Stockholm safely to New York harbor." —Preceding unsigned comment added by B.
