USCGC Point Jefferson (WPB-82306)

USCGC Point Jefferson (WPB-82306) was an 82-foot Point-class cutter built for the United States Coast Guard and commissioned in 1961. Designed primarily for law enforcement and search and rescue operations, the cutter was based out of various locations along the U.S. coast during her service. In 1965, Point Jefferson was deployed to Vietnam as part of Operation Market Time, where she performed coastal patrol duties to prevent the infiltration of North Vietnamese supplies. After her Vietnam service, she returned to the United States and continued her missions until being decommissioned and transferred to the Republic of Vietnam Navy in 1970.
