History
The USCGC Cape Knox, commissioned in the 1970s, served as a reliable buoy tender along the U.S. East Coast. This vessel was tasked with the maintenance of critical navigational aids, conducting search-and-rescue operations, and supporting environmental protection efforts such as oil spill containment. Its durable design made it capable of operating in various maritime conditions, ensuring the safety of both commercial and recreational vessels. Over its service life, Cape Knox was involved in numerous rescue missions and environmental efforts before being replaced by more advanced ships in the Coast Guard’s fleet.
