USCGC Eagle

USCGC Eagle (formerly Horst Wessel) is a 90 m barque used as a training cutter for future officers of the United States Coast Guard. She is the only active commissioned sailing vessel in American military service, and one of only two commissioned sailing vessels, along with USS Constitution. She was built by Blohm & Voss in Hamburg, Germany, and she was launched in 1936. At the end of World War II, the four German sailing vessels then extant were distributed to various nations as war reparations. Horst Wessel was won by the United States in a drawing of lots with the Russian and British navies.
