USCGC Sagebrush (WLB-399)

USCGC Sagebrush (WLB-399) was a 180-foot Cactus-class seagoing buoy tender commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1944. Built during World War II, Sagebrush was primarily tasked with maintaining aids to navigation, search and rescue, and icebreaking operations along the U.S. East Coast and in the Caribbean. Over her decades of service, the cutter played a vital role in maritime safety and logistics, responding to emergencies and supporting Coast Guard missions. Sagebrush was decommissioned in 1988, marking the end of over four decades of distinguished service to the nation.
