USCGC Point Thatcher : NMDS-82314

**USCGC Point Thatcher (WPB-82314)** was an 82-foot Point-class cutter constructed in 1961 for the United States Coast Guard. Assigned to law enforcement, search and rescue, and patrol duties, she served primarily along the U.S. coasts during the 1960s. In 1970, the vessel was transferred to the Republic of Vietnam Navy under the Military Assistance Program and renamed **NMDS-82314**. There, she continued patrol operations during the Vietnam War, supporting coastal security and interdiction missions before her eventual decommissioning.
