Uscgc sangamon

USCGC Sangamon was a United States Coast Guard cutter that served primarily during the Prohibition era and into World War II. Commissioned in the early 20th century, Sangamon was part of the Coast Guard's "Six-Bitter" class, designed for long-range patrols to enforce Prohibition laws and interdict rumrunners along the U.S. coastline. During World War II, the cutter was assigned to coastal defense and convoy escort duties, helping to safeguard American waters from enemy submarines and ships. After years of distinguished service, the USCGC Sangamon was eventually decommissioned, marking the end of its operational history.
