USCGC Ingham

USCGC Ingham (WHEC-35) was a United States Coast Guard Cutter commissioned in 1936 and served with distinction for over five decades. During World War II, Ingham was a vital convoy escort in the Atlantic, credited with sinking a German U-boat and rescuing hundreds of survivors from torpedoed ships. The cutter also saw service during the Vietnam War, participating in Operation Market Time to interdict enemy supply lines along the coast. Decommissioned in 1988, USCGC Ingham is now preserved as a museum ship in Key West, Florida, honoring her long and storied service.
