As we have said before, you never know what you will see living aboard a military installation.

We are not sure what caused this to happen, and probably never will, but we started our day with the view of this. It came along with a lot of shouting and a flurry of activity to rig oil booms.

This retired 110’ USCG Cutter has been tied up at the Navy Docks were Hancock Creek meets the Neuse River. For the past several years it, along with it’s sister ship, have been undergoing extensive work to allow it to complete some unknown future mission.

Weather it was destined to be a bombing target or some other training aid, it is now resting with it’s keel in 15-20’ of water. Bet someone is in trouble!
