The US Naval Institute interviewed Nolan Cain, Cdr. USCG, about an article he had written for the Institute’s “Naval History” magazine about the torpedoing and sinking of USCGC Alexander Hamilton (WPG-34), January 29/30, 1942.
As a former XO of USCGC Duane (WPG/WHEC-33), I have great affection for this class of ships. I have included all the photos I have of USCGC Alexander Hamilton.
