In Honolulu Harbor during the attack on Pearl Harbor

It's interesting to me that Wikipedia duplicates the Taney DANFS article nearly word for word EXCEPT, wikipedia excludes the following sentence, "...the surprise attack reached her simultaneously. As no Japanese attacks were directed at Honolulu harbor, the Coast Guard cutter was only given the opportunity to fire at stray aircraft which happened to venture into her vicinity. She was firing upon unidentified aircraft as late as noon, indicating that the eager Coast Guardsmen were probably shooting at American planes—not Japanese." --Dual Freq (talk) 16:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Taney's AAR backs this up, firing at aircraft after Japanese planes were long gone. --Dual Freq (talk) 16:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1961-1965

The article says nothing about what the Taney was doing between 1961 and 1965, but it happens that I was acquainted with it briefly during those years. In the summer of 1963, I sailed to Juneau, Alaska, on the Taney during a reserve training cruise. I recall being in Juneau on August 4 (Coast Guard Day) that year. I was in the USCG Reserve from early 1962 through 1965 and am pretty sure that the Taney was based at Government Island through those years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.84.217.243 (talk) 20:29, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I read this on the official literature at the museum itself. I will search my library to see if I can find a peer reviewed source Jtlloyd (talk) 08:12, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1972 - 1986

An interesting note: Commissioned on October 24, 1936, she had a long and distinguished career being decommissioned on December 7, 1986, the last active ship that was at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack. Also, because of her long career, It is my understanding that she is now the last ship afloat that was present at the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1988 [1] Not really sure where in the article this information should go. Art Rice 14:17, 29 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtR001 (talk • contribs)
