    In 1936, Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine (navy) commissioned a three-masted training ship and named it the Horst Wessel.[92] The ship was taken as a war prize by the United States after World War II.[92] After repairs and modifications, it was commissioned on 15 May 1946 into the United States Coast Guard as the USCGC Eagle (WIX-327) and remains in service to this day.
