USCGC DURABLE

USCGC DURABLE (WMEC-628) was a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter commissioned in 1968. Throughout her service, DURABLE played a crucial role in maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, and drug interdiction operations, particularly in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The cutter participated in significant counter-narcotics missions, often seizing substantial quantities of illegal drugs and detaining smugglers. After decades of service, DURABLE was decommissioned in 2001 and later transferred to the Colombian Navy, where she continues to serve under a new name.
