They also sailed her under her own power back in the late 1990’s. I was a USCG Auxiliarist back then and was on one of the escort boats that kept the public from getting too close.

They also occasionally do invite-only turnaround cruises. I was lucky enough to be invited on one of those during my USCG days as well.
