USCGC Cleat

USCGC Cleat (WYTL-65615) is a 65-foot harbor tug that was built for the United States Coast Guard in 1961. Stationed primarily in the Northeast, Cleat has been tasked with missions including icebreaking, search and rescue, law enforcement, and port security. Throughout its service, the cutter has played a vital role in maintaining navigable waterways during harsh winter conditions and supporting Coast Guard operations in busy harbors. Cleat’s long-standing commitment exemplifies the essential support provided by smaller Coast Guard vessels in both daily and emergency maritime operations.
