USCGC GREENBRIER

USCGC GREENBRIER (WLR-75500) is a 75-foot river buoy tender serving in the United States Coast Guard. Commissioned in 1990, GREENBRIER is based out of Natchez, Mississippi, and operates primarily along the lower Mississippi River and its tributaries. The vessel’s primary mission is to maintain aids to navigation, ensuring safe passage for commercial and military vessels in the region. Named for the Greenbrier River in West Virginia, the GREENBRIER continues the legacy of earlier Coast Guard and Lighthouse Service vessels that served inland waterways since the early 20th century.
