History
The USCGC Cape Rosier was a buoy tender commissioned in the 1970s, tasked with maintaining navigational aids along the U.S. East Coast. The vessel’s duties were crucial in ensuring the safety of commercial and recreational vessels navigating through busy maritime routes. Cape Rosier also contributed to search-and-rescue operations and environmental protection efforts, particularly in response to oil spills and other ecological emergencies. Its rugged construction allowed it to navigate even the harshest conditions. After several years of dedicated service, Cape Rosier was replaced by newer, more technologically advanced vessels as part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s modernization efforts.
