History
The USCGC Cape Upright was another 180-foot buoy tender that served the U.S. Coast Guard from the 1970s until its retirement. This vessel was responsible for maintaining navigational aids along various U.S. waterways, ensuring the safe passage of commercial vessels and recreational traffic. Cape Upright participated in numerous rescue operations, environmental response initiatives, and routine buoy servicing missions. Known for its sturdy design and reliable performance, the vessel contributed to maritime safety and environmental protection for several decades before being phased out and replaced by the modernized Juniper-class tenders.
