USCGC MORRO BAY

USCGC MORRO BAY (WTGB-106) is a Bay-class 140-foot icebreaking tug of the United States Coast Guard, commissioned in 1981. Homeported in Cleveland, Ohio, MORRO BAY’s primary missions include domestic icebreaking, search and rescue, and aids to navigation in the Great Lakes region. Over the decades, the cutter has played a critical role in ensuring wintertime maritime commerce by keeping shipping lanes open and assisting vessels trapped by ice. MORRO BAY is also involved in multi-mission operations, such as environmental protection and port security, supporting both local and national Coast Guard objectives.
