USCGC RUSH

USCGC Rush refers to several cutters that have served in the United States Coast Guard, most notably the USCGC Rush (WHEC-723), a high endurance cutter commissioned in 1968. Throughout its service, Rush participated in a variety of missions including law enforcement, search and rescue, and maritime security operations, particularly in the Pacific Ocean. The cutter was notably active during the Vietnam War, supporting Operation Market Time to interdict enemy supply lines. After over four decades of distinguished service, USCGC Rush was decommissioned in 2015 and later transferred to the Bangladesh Navy, where it was recommissioned as BNS Somudra Avijan.
