CG 44322

Stationed at Barnegat Light, NJ from 1964 to 1968. CG44322 was the biggest boat there. would like any pictures of her or other boats there CG30459, CG30521, CG40393, CG40374D a bouy boat, there was a 36 footer there but can't remember number. Spent many hours on SAR and weekly trips to Barnegat Light Ship. 44MLB one of the best. Thanks Mike

Re: CG 44322

Station there April 1971 to Oct 1974 I was on the 44322 when it was out in a 85 Kt. northeaster. it was given to the NJ Reef Project and sit's on Garden State South reef site. I was the last engineer on the 40374D we hauled the boat in 72 and found the stern tube badly rotted, we patched it up and it went to Baltimore yard and was scrapped the 36' was lost in a boat house fire before I was stationed there. Also there was the 40430..30520,,253313,,46310 (replaced 40374D) a 17' whaler and that was it. I was there when the new station was built and have lots of pic's of the construction MK2 Scott retired
