USCG Cape Knox 95312

USCGC Cape Knox (WPB-95312) was a 95-foot Cape-class patrol boat commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1954. Built at the Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland, Cape Knox was primarily tasked with search and rescue, law enforcement, and maritime patrol operations along the U.S. coastline. Throughout its service, the cutter played a vital role in safeguarding American waters and responding to emergencies, especially during the heightened maritime activities of the Cold War era. After decades of distinguished service, Cape Knox was eventually decommissioned as newer, more advanced vessels entered the Coast Guard fleet.
