She rode well in calm and stormy weather. We went through a typhoon enroute to Japan one year. She served for the Coast Guard for fifty years from 1936 to 1986 which is a long time for a ship of the line. Visit the Wikipedia page below which has not yet been deleted.

You know, the guy may be a turd for all I know. But stupidity, racism, stubbornness and cowardice are as much a part of our history as wisdom, egalitarianism, cooperation and bravery.
I simply recoil at this re-writing of history, because it is a slippery slope.
As far as I am concerned, the USCGC Taney is as much a part of our history as the USS Nevada.
Not WHEC-37. That doesn’t mean squat to me or the men who served on her (I presume).

She served for the Coast Guard for fifty years from 1936 to 1986 which is a long time for a ship of the line I was at Governor's Island in '85; she was moored there (or was it Campbell? Duane?, I can't remember which).
