USCGC Ingham (WHEC-35)
USCGC ''Ingham'' (WHEC-35) is one of only two preserved s. Originally ''Samuel D. Ingham'', she was the fourth cutter to be named for Treasury Secretary Samuel D. Ingham. She was the most decorated vessel in the Coast Guard fleet and was the only cutter to ever be awarded two Presidential Unit Citations.
==History 1934–1988==
''Ingham'' was built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The Treasury Department awarded her contract on 30 January 1934. Her keel was laid on 1 May 1935 and she was launched on 3 June 1936 along with her sisters ''William J. Duane'' and ''Roger B. Taney''. ''Ingham'' was christened by Ms. Katherine Ingham Brush on that date and the new cutter was formally commissioned on 12 September 1936.
''Ingham'' served with distinction during World War II on convoy duty. Protecting ships ferrying vital supplies to Britain, ''Ingham'' battled stormy weather, German U-boats, and enemy aircraft. On 15 December 1942, during one crossing, ''Ingham'' engaged and sank the enemy submarine ''U-626''. After 1944, ''Ingham'' served as an amphibious flagship and she would later take part in three campaigns in the Pacific Theater. ''Ingham'' was the last active warship in the US fleet with a U-Boat kill.
