On 15 July 1943 she helped refloat the U.S. Army Transport Fairfax which had also been torpedoed. She constantly went into harm's way during those turbulent years. With the loss of the Cutter Comanche in Charleston during Hurricane Hugo, the Mohawk is the last Coast Guard Cutter of the pre-war 165 foot Indian Class cutters remaining. We cannot let the memory of these gallant ships fade into history while this last one still survives. Your help is urgently solicited.
