USCGC Cape Hedge (WPB-95311)

USCGC Cape Hedge (WPB-95311) was a 95-foot Cape-class patrol boat commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1958. Designed primarily for law enforcement, search and rescue, and maritime patrol missions, Cape Hedge operated extensively along the U.S. coastline during the height of the Cold War. The cutter was homeported in various locations and played a key role in intercepting illegal activities and assisting vessels in distress. After decades of distinguished service, Cape Hedge was decommissioned in the late 1980s as newer patrol boats entered the Coast Guard fleet.
