USCGC Tiger. The USCGC Tiger (WSC-152) was an Active-class patrol boat of the United States Coast Guard. The vessel guarded the entrance to Pearl Harbor all day and night on December 7, during the Attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.

Design and construction 
USCGC Tiger (WSC-152) was the 28th of 35 ships in the Active class patrol boat, designed to serve as a "mother ship" in support of Prohibition against bootleggers and smugglers along the coasts. They were meant to be able to stay at sea for long periods of time in any kinds of weather, and were able to expand berthing space via hammocks of the need arises, such as if a large amount of survivors were on board. Built by the American Brown Boveri Electric Corporation of Camden, New Jersey, she was laid down on 1 February 1927. The cutter was launched on 18 April 1927, transferred to the Coast Guard on 29 April 1927 and commissioned on 3 May 1927. Like the rest of her class, she was 125 feet (38 m) long, had a 22-foot-6-inch (6.86 m) beam and a 7-foot-6-inch (2.29 m) draft. A single 3-inch (76 mm) gun was mounted as the offensive weapon as launch. She was numbered as hull No. 346 before being given a name, and launched from slipway J with five other sister ships.

Service history 
Tiger was placed in commission at 11:25 am on 3 May 1927. The vessel operated out of Coast Guard Base Two in Stapleton, New York, until shifting to Norfolk, Virginia, arriving there on 6 June 1933. Subsequently, the  cutter was transferred to the Territory of Hawaii and operated out of Honolulu. In mid-1941, she came under jurisdiction of the United States Navy and was assigned to the local defense force of the 14th Naval District. Equipped with depth charges and listening gear, Tiger then operated out of Honolulu in company with her sister ship  and the   into late 1941. On December 7, the Imperial Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on the Pacific Fleet at its Pearl Harbor base.

Tiger, patrolling off Barber's Point that morning, won her only Battle Star of the war for participation during the attack.. 

On December 27, 1941, Tiger came across and rescued fourteen survivors in a lifeboat of the U.S. freighter , which had been torpedoed and sunk by Japanese Submarine I-72 on December 18th, 150 miles South of Oahu.

Fate 
She was decommissioned on 12 November 1947. On 14 June 1948 the cutter was sold as Polar Merchant #257391, before being completely stripped and used as a floating hull in Tacoma, Washington in 2018.

Brown University Computing Laboratory. The Brown University Computing Laboratory is an academic building of Brown University located at 180 George Street in Providence, Rhode Island. It was built in 1960 and designed by noted architect Philip Johnson. The building was funded through a donation by the family of Thomas J. Watson, Sr. and dedicated to his memory. It was designed to house the IBM 7070 that was obtained through grants from the National Science Foundation and the IBM Corporation. On a wall in the main lobby hangs a tapestry given by Philip Johnson after a design by Arshile Gorky. The building was dedicated on January 12, 1961.

According to the Encyclopedia Brunoniana, Philip Johnson wrote, “I conceived the Brown Computing Laboratory as a porticus – a porch – to emphasize its importance as a technical center, its unique setting in the cityscape and its dignity as a memorial building. Though neo-Classical, therefore in conception, the materials and the design of the columns are quite contemporary. Only precast stone could have been used to form the X’s of the entablature; only plate glass could render the porch usable in New England. By use of the red granite chips, I thought to harmonize the Laboratory with the 19th century which surrounds it.” 

When the building was first occupied, the machine room, a batch job submission and retrieval area, a keypunch room, and an extra room were on the first floor and staff offices and storage rooms were in the basement. Eventually, an IBM 1130 and 2250 display were installed in the extra room. By 1971, the extra room held the Brown University Graphics System (BUGS) a project of Prof. Andries van Dam. Many Brown University professors and students, including Prof. John E. Savage, submitted batch jobs to run on the university computer housed in the Lab. In 1971, the computer was an IBM System/360 Model 67.

Once the lab no longer housed the university mainframe computer, the first floor became a dedicated space for a virtual reality environment known as the YURT.

In 1988, the Applied Mathematics Division became the primary occupant after a new Center for Information Technology building was opened to house the Computer Science Department. Subsequently, the Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV) became the primary occupant. CCV is Brown University's research computing center. The basement was remodeled with offices and a small lounge.

In 2022, the Gorky tapestry was taken down for cleaning. It was discovered that it had been hanging in the wrong orientation for 61 years and remounted on the wall in the correct orientation.
