Excerpt: USCGC Taney (WPG/WAGC/WHEC-37) ( -nee) is a United States Coast Guard High Endurance Cutter, notable as the last ship floating that fought in the attack on Pearl Harbor, although she was actually moored in nearby Honolulu Harbor not Pearl Harbor itself. She was named for Roger B. Taney (1777-1864), who was at various times: US Attorney General, Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. She is also one of two Treasury-class (out of seven total) Coast Guard Cutters still afloat. Serving her country for 50 years, the Taney saw action in both theaters of combat in World War II, serving as command ship at the Battle of Okinawa, and as part of fleet escort in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. She also served in the Vietnam War in Operation Market Time. Taney also patrolled the seas working in drug interdiction and fisheries protection and participated in the search for Amelia Earhart. Roger B. Taney, Coast Guard Builders No. 68, was laid on May 1, 1935 at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. She was launched on June 3, 1936 and was sponsored by Miss Corinne F. Taney. She was commissioned at Philadelphia on October 24, 1936 under the command of CDR W. K. Thompson, USCG. The Roger B. Taney departed Philadelphia on December 19, transited the Panama Canal from December 27 to 29, and arrived at her home port, Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, on January 18, 1937. She conducted local operations out of Honolulu through the summer of 1937. On June 16, 1937, she transferred a number of her crew for temporary duty to USCGC Itasca. The Itasca was preparing to lend navigational support to Amelia Earhart's flight around the world. In May or June 1937 Roger B. Taney's name was shortened to simply Taney. The Taney had arrived in the Pacific at a time when the United States, and Pan-American Airways in particular, was expanding its commercial air travel capabilities. The "Clipper" flights across the Pacific to the Far East made islands like Hawaii, Midway, Guam, and Wake Island
