Uscgc arbutus

USCGC Arbutus (WAGL-400) was a United States Coast Guard buoy tender commissioned in 1933. Serving primarily along the East Coast, Arbutus was responsible for maintaining navigational aids and supporting maritime safety operations. During World War II, she was tasked with coastal patrols and escort duties, contributing to homeland defense and anti-submarine efforts. After decades of service, Arbutus was decommissioned in 1966, having played a vital role in both peacetime and wartime Coast Guard missions.
