USCGC Cutter Point Franklin (WPB 82350)

USCGC Point Franklin (WPB-82350) was a Point-class cutter commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1967. Designed for law enforcement, search and rescue, and coastal patrol duties, she served primarily along the U.S. coasts during her operational career. Point Franklin was notable for her advanced design features, including a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, which increased durability and performance. After decades of service, she was eventually decommissioned and transferred to another nation as part of U.S. military assistance programs.
