USCGC Tanager

USCGC Tanager (WAVP-385), originally commissioned as USS Tanager (AM-385), was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She was launched in 1944 and served in the Pacific Theater, conducting minesweeping operations to clear naval mines and ensure safe passage for Allied vessels. After the war, she was transferred to the United States Coast Guard in 1947 and redesignated as USCGC Tanager (WAVP-385). In Coast Guard service, she was primarily tasked with weather patrols and search and rescue missions in the Atlantic until her decommissioning in 1959.
