She came into Jacksonville back in 04 with the tall ships!

Thanks, might have to check her out. Been aboard several times but never below decks or on her helo deck.

That is one gorgeous ship. I've always liked the aesthetics of that beautiful boat.

A former German navy training ship. The US received it as a war reparation at the end of WWII.

The USCG is used to hand-me-downs.....

"The US received it as a war reparation"

Received it or TOOK it, as a war prize?

FF - as the barristers say - "a distinction without a difference" - plus the fact that we won, so we get to write the history books.
