uscgc Cape Carter

The USCGC Cape Carter (WPB-9532) was a 95-foot Cape-class patrol boat commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1959. Primarily assigned to law enforcement, search and rescue, and maritime patrol duties, Cape Carter operated out of several East Coast ports during her service. The vessel played a role in anti-smuggling operations and provided critical support during maritime emergencies throughout her career. Decommissioned in the late 1980s, Cape Carter exemplified the versatility and reliability of the Cape-class cutters during the Cold War era.
