The ship, now known as the US Coast Guard Cutter 37 (or WHEC-37), was christened "Roger B. Taney" in 1936. This name was formally shortened to "Taney" in 1941, the name by which the ship was most commonly known during its 50 years of service. The "Taney" attacked Japanese aircraft at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Today, she is the last warship to take part in the attack and one of two surviving ships of the "Treasury" class. The Taney saw distinguished service in both World War II and Vietnam and is now on display in Baltimore's Inner Harbour as part of Baltimore's Historic Ships collection. Readers will enjoy a detailed visual guide to this 327-foot, 20-knot, heavily armed Coast Guard cutter.
