USCGC Farallon (WPB 1301)

USCGC Farallon (WPB 1301) is an Island-class patrol boat commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1986. Named after the Farallon Islands off the coast of California, she primarily operated out of San Juan, Puerto Rico, where her missions included maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, and counter-narcotics patrols throughout the Caribbean Sea. Farallon played a key role in interdicting illegal drug trafficking and migrant smuggling, often coordinating with other U.S. and allied assets. After more than three decades of service, she was decommissioned in 2022 and transferred to the Dominican Republic Navy as part of U.S. security cooperation efforts.
