USCGC Aquidneck

USCGC Aquidneck (WPB-1309) is an Island-class patrol boat commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1986. Primarily based out of the US East Coast, Aquidneck has played a vital role in maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, and national defense operations. Notably, she was deployed to the Persian Gulf in 2003 as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, conducting interdiction and security patrols. Throughout her service, Aquidneck has exemplified the Coast Guard’s multi-mission capabilities before being decommissioned and transferred to the Georgian Coast Guard in 2021.
