Additional comments
In this case, copying is almost certainly reversed. It looks as though the text was taken from our article at some point after the decommissioning. Most of the content was already on Wikipedia at the time that the decomissioning was only scheduled; see [1]. --Moonriddengirl(talk)18:20, 24 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Not only was this article also written after the ship was decommissioned, but note that the number of ships involved changed in our article in June 2006, after the ship was decommissioned: [2]. The other website includes the later figure. There's also this evidence of natural evolution: [3], [4],[5]. I think this is all ours. --Moonriddengirl(talk)18:34, 24 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I removed the passage "(an unusual condition for a museum ship, typically decommissioned after years in mothball fleets" becasue ACACIA did not HAVE machineguns, nor her aft 5-inch gun, which were removed after the US/Canadian Border demilitrization (during the CARTER Administarion). In fact, the only firearms we had on-board while I served aboard her ('99-'01) were a couple of 9MM's and a shotgun (the shotgun being used very rarely to clear ice off the bouys if it was too thick for us deckies to break it off with boathooks).
Semper Paratus (Always Ready) is the Coast Guard’s motto; ACACIA’S motto was “Ace of the Lakes.” We (the crew) said other things, which should not be put in print.4.246.120.29 (talk) 04:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Andering J REDDSON (USCG BM³ Reserve/Active Duty SN, '99-'01).Reply
Hello, I am a volunteer on the Acacia buoy tender now located in Manistee Mi. and I am looking to find the name of a sailor who was reported to have died in an accident in the 1970's. Several retired sailors have told us about this accident, however we can't locate any records on it. Can you help us with details about this, or a name or maybe point us in the right direction?
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but an Acacia crewman named Dale C. Stafford drowned in a canoeing accident on Lake Huron on 17 June 1972. Jordanroderick (talk) 18:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I found two sources that contain passages that appear in this article [6] and [7]. I cannot determine what came first, this article or the webpages. Brad (talk) 18:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
