USCGC Point Hobart

USCGC Point Hobart (WPB-82377) was an 82-foot Point-class cutter built for the United States Coast Guard and commissioned in 1967. Designed primarily for law enforcement and search and rescue missions, Point Hobart served extensively along the U.S. coastline, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, participating in anti-smuggling and migrant interdiction operations. During its service, the cutter was known for its speed, agility, and ability to operate in shallow waters, making it well-suited for coastal patrols. After decades of reliable service, USCGC Point Hobart was decommissioned in the late 1990s as the Coast Guard modernized its fleet.
