 The USCGC William Tate is a keeper-class coastal buoy tender of the United States Coast Guard. It was launched on May 8, 1999, and is home ported in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The ship's primary mission is maintaining over 268s to navigation on the Delaware River, in Delaware Bay, and in nearby waterways. My name is Abigail Phillips. My job on the William Tate is deck department. So, a lot of the manual we've earned, being in action on the buoy deck, we're doing a lot of bait on work. We also do look out along with the side jobs and keeping up the ship and making sure it stays mid-state. Our main event is seasonals, just changing out the ways and going back in. When we do seasonals, we're mostly checking for the chain, making sure it's not too thin, making sure the moves aren't in good condition. The lights are working and occasionally changing stickers so that you can see the feeling. It's a good feeling when you're able to step back and kind of see how well you keep up with the boat. And just being able to see the artwork that really pays off with the small things that you do.
