An Unofficial Coast Guard Blog: Verdict on the MORRO BAY is in

  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Thank you Admiral Gabel for setting such a fine example of real leadership! This is indeed a glimmer of hope.


    I can't remember the last time a press release addressed a previous incident number one, and number two actually allowed the CO to remain in command. When investigations actually clear members of wrongdoing, I believe its crucial to communicate that and restore the member to the fullest - it seems many times the reputation damage is enough to keep many a fine leader out of the saddle once the damage is done.



    While it may not happen very often, I think we should celebrate this - I'm going right now to do so in good CG fashion... ;) MM

    I didn't know the Coast Guard had a ship named the Morrow Bay.


    When was it brought into commission?

    Actually it's MORRO Bay, no W on the end. The 140 foot Morro Bay is an ice breaking tug that also serves in SAR and law enforcement roles. The Morro Bay was built in 1981 and is currently assigned to New London, CT.

    Yes, I do know that. Just curious as to why the OP didn't.


    It's pretty embarrassing to make an error like that on a "Coast Guard" website......
