**Pontchartrain (WPG-70)** was a United States Coast Guard cutter commissioned during World War II. Launched in 1944, she served as a convoy escort and performed search and rescue operations in the North Atlantic, protecting vital shipping lanes from German U-boats. After the war, Pontchartrain continued her service in peacetime, notably participating in the rescue of passengers from the sinking SS Andrea Doria in 1956. She remained active into the Cold War era, contributing to maritime safety and national defense until her decommissioning.
