USCGC THETIS Bottom Cleaning 

Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏 Gentlemen Excellent job. Thank you for your services 🙏 😊 all of you and godbless

I served on the USCGC Campbell WMEC 909, a sister ship to the Thetis. Even after a couple of years in the water I never saw bottom fouling as bad as that. It would be an understatement to question the job the yard did on that job.

6:17 - Excellently improvised hand signal hahah

all praise the youtube algorithm for bring us here together

I’m most surprised the coast guard don’t have their own ppl for this. Great job!

"Go scrape the barnacles off of that football field".......... Tough work, good job.

They need to get it repainted but your team did fast great work love your videos keeps the great work up 👍🏻

This job needs balls of steel.

You have to wonder when she will finally get a session in the dry dock. That paint issue is going to have to be addressed eventually. The biggest problem with pulling her from active service is the fact that those cutters are busy, and there are not enough of them. The Coast Guard has retired its older cutters and has been in the process of replacing them with a brand new, updated class, but in the mean time, all of those afloat are needed in service. I wonder who did the poor paint job, and if the govt. has any recourse to making them do the needed repaint.

Diving on navy bases are the best for "treasure" old brass shells, old coffee mugs, artillery shells, and you name it.

amazing

Took her to dry dock in 93 five years after she was commissioned. I don’t remember the hull being that bad

So, a 12" drywall knife is a specialty tool? I kid. I could never do what you guys do.

I know it has been some time since this was posted and it was a cool video. How deed did you have to go and how long does a tank last?

How much did you charge to clean that ship?

What kind of scrapper is he using?

Looks like they might get 10 knots more, right? But wouldn't it be easier to do this in dry dock?
