I was stationed onboard CGC Woodrush from 1987-1990. In March of 1989, the Woodrush was in Bellingham, WA shipyard replacing her engines and other upgrades. Members of Woodrush crew responded to Exxon Valdez disaster with other vessels, but the Woodrush wasn't there as indicated. 208.114.82.155 (talk) 20:56, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
