Celtic Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Got to thinking about it and the "big name" US ships are getting a fair bit of representation in the various suggestions and polls. However the USRCS was...for a number of years the only naval forces the United States had at its disposal and having more small ships is ultimately good for everyone right? Do keep in mind just because they're "cutters" doesn't necessarily mean they were all cutter rigged.

Celtic Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 @Flyingtaco Where are you getting information about those ships being part of the Texas Navy? They were all ships of the Revenue Cutter Service which was part of the US Treasury, forerunner to the US Coast Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 The first ship of the Texas Navy, the schooner Independence, was the ex-US Revenue Cutter Ingham, a member of the same class as the USRC Hamilton posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
