USCGC TANEY

USCGC Taney (WHEC-37) was a Secretary-class Coast Guard cutter commissioned in 1936 and named after Roger B. Taney, the fifth Chief Justice of the United States. Taney is renowned for being the last surviving warship present during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, where she engaged Japanese aircraft from her Honolulu mooring. Throughout World War II, Taney served in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters, performing convoy escort, anti-submarine, and search and rescue missions. After the war, she continued to serve in various roles—including weather patrol, law enforcement, and search and rescue—until her decommissioning in 1986.
