    The image is a side-by-side composite of two photographs. The left photo shows a woman in a U.S. Coast Guard shirt smiling at a desk in what appears to be an office or workstation. The right photo is a black-and-white portrait of two young individuals, likely from the 1970s or 1980s based on the photographic style and hairstyles.

    Petty Officer 3rd Class Tunker takes car of administration aboard USCGC Morgenthau's (WHEC 722) during a Bering Sea Patrol in January 2017. The ship was the first in the service's inventory to have women permanently stationed aboard. A tradition that still holds true and has been expanded throughout our fleet. "To be a part of the last crew of the Morgenthau is pretty special. The people are what ultimately make the experience. When I reported aboard I didn't feel like this was going to be anything different from any of my other duty stations. I was wrong. These people started out as co-workers ended up being family, including extended family. Getting to read letters from the first crew really hammers home that we are all part of the same family. Being a part of the last crew for me is bittersweet because I'll never get to come back to her later in my career, but I will be a part of her history." -- YN2 Tunker (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Ensign Brandon Newman/Released, Historical image circa 1970)
