USCGC Morris

USCGC Morris (WSC-147) was a 125-foot Active-class patrol boat commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1927. Designed for Prohibition-era law enforcement, she was part of the famed "Buck & a Quarter" class. During World War II, Morris conducted coastal patrols, convoy escort, and anti-submarine operations, notably along the U.S. East Coast and in the Caribbean. After decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1971, having played a vital role in both peacetime and wartime Coast Guard missions.
