USCGC Metompkin (WPB 1325)

USCGC Metompkin (WPB 1325) was an Island-class patrol boat commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1988. Named after Metompkin Island, Virginia, she was primarily assigned to maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, and homeland security missions along the U.S. East Coast. Throughout her service, Metompkin played a key role in drug interdiction operations and migrant interdiction efforts, reflecting the Coast Guard’s expanding post-Cold War missions. After more than two decades of active duty, Metompkin was decommissioned in 2011 as part of the Coast Guard’s modernization and fleet renewal program.
