Wow the old girl still floats. I was on the pre-commissioning crew. Picked the Jarvis up at Avondale shipyards in New Orelans and took her to Baltimore and then home to Honolulu.

WMEC619 - So you think the extra 168 feet makes the difference? I did 6 Bering Sea patrols on the Jarvis. I can't compare the ride on a 210 but responding to a SAR on both birds 25 plus knots hitting the seas was no fun at all.

My father served on this ship from 71-74 the cutters first years.He was the QMC of this ship.

I 378' in the Bering Sea is a cake walk. Try a 210' in the Bering Sea. Confidence WMEC 619 1980-1981

Man, I miss the rock. Would walk the Peninsula every night and the beach the Jarvis passes at 00:25? Had more than one winter super-redneckparty: pallet bonfire, guns, four-wheelers and salmon cooked on a heated flat rock.

Did a nonrate tour at the SUPCEN and an E4 tour at the AirSta. I could not believe they were paying me to be to be there (and extra money to fly? Suckers)
