USCGC McCuller

```html • USCGC McCulloch (WHEC-386) was a United States Coast Guard cutter, named after Treasury Secretary Hugh McCulloch. • She was commissioned in 1946 and served until 1972, making her part of the Owasco-class high endurance cutters built during World War II. • McCulloch was originally designed for anti-submarine warfare and convoy escort during WWII, though she was completed too late to see combat in that conflict. • Her homeports included Boston, Massachusetts and later Norfolk, Virginia, from which she conducted missions along the Atlantic coast. • During her service, McCulloch was involved in law enforcement, search and rescue, and ocean station patrol duties, helping to guide transatlantic aircraft and ships before satellite navigation was widespread. • One of her notable missions included responding to the 1954 crash of a U.S. Navy patrol bomber, rescuing survivors from the sea off Newfoundland. • She participated in the International Ice Patrol, monitoring iceberg dangers in the North Atlantic following the tradition begun after the Titanic disaster. • McCulloch was assigned to the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1968, performing Operation Market Time patrols to interdict North Vietnamese supply routes by sea. • After a long and distinguished career, USCGC McCulloch was decommissioned in 1972 and sold for scrap, marking the end of her service legacy. • Her name honors the legacy of earlier Coast Guard and Revenue Service vessels, most notably the first USRC McCulloch, which served with distinction in the Spanish–American War and was lost in 1917. ``` (Note: There is no "USCGC McCuller" in official USCG records, but USCGC McCulloch is a real and historically significant cutter.
