The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE is seen on a foggy Sunday morning at the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, Maryland, November 17, 2013.
The Eagle, a 295-foot barque homeported in New London, Connecticut on the Thames River at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy, is a training ship used primarily for Coast Guard cadets and officer candidates.
Built in Germany in 1936 and recommissioned by the United States at the close of World War II, the EAGLE is the largest tall ship and the only active commissioned steel hulled sailing vessel in the U.S. military.

The U.S. Coast Guard’s icebreaker Healy will not carry out its planned high-latitude Arctic mission this summer following a serious engineering casualty in July, a spokesperson said. The statement provides the clearest indication yet of the impact of the incident on the Coast Guard’s key icebreaker.
U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker Healy suffered a significant engineering casualty during post-refit sea trials off the Washington coast before being towed back to Seattle on July 13 for an investigation and major repairs, the Coast Guard told gCaptain.
The U.S. Coast Guard’s troubled Polar Security Cutter program faces further delays with a new government watchdog report projecting delivery of the first heavy icebreaker in March 2033, almost a decade later than originally planned.
