Petty Officer 3rd Class Tunker takes car of administration aboard USCGC Morgenthau's (WHEC 722) during a Bering Sea Patrol in January 2017. The ship was the first in the service's inventory to have women permanently stationed aboard. A tradition that still holds true and has been expanded throughout our fleet. "To be a part of the last crew of the Morgenthau is pretty special. The people are what ultimately make the experience. When I reported aboard I didn't feel like this was going to be anything different from any of my other duty stations. I was wrong. These people started out as co-workers ended up being family, including extended family. Getting to read letters from the first crew really hammers home that we are all part of the same family. Being a part of the last crew for me is bittersweet because I'll never get to come back to her later in my career, but I will be a part of her history." -- YN2 Tunker (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Ensign Brandon Newman/Released, Historical image circa 1970)
