USRC not USS
editWashington was a cutter in U.S. Revenue Marine service. During time of war, assets of "the System of Cutters", (later) U.S. Revenue Marine, (later) U.S. Revenue Cutter Service, (later) U.S. Coast Guard, were transferred from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (at the time) to the U. S. Department of the Navy. Same was true when the U.S. Coast Guard was under the U.S. Department of Transportation and now under U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
When transferred, the ship's prefix would not have changed. I did not see "USS" used at DANFS site, nor is it used at U.S. Coast Guard Historian's site. So I propose a change be made (with economy of force) in the least difficult manner. I'll square it away later, awaiting comments. Semper Paratus Tjlynnjr (talk) 01:31, 31 August 2013 (UTC).

LT George M Baches son
editThe following info was reverted from "See also" section (see history). I am placing it here for future reference. This info was of use for genealogical research by an acquaintance. The Bache family was notable in U.S. naval history. This link will take the reader to other Bache family articles. Commander George Mifflin Bache, USN (Ret), son of Lieutenant George M. Bache, USN, Commanding USRC Washington, lost at sea 1846. Semper Paratus Tjlynnjr (talk) 21:49, 30 January 2015 (UTC) .
