USCGC UNIMAK 379

USCGC UNIMAK (WHEC-379) was a Casco-class high endurance cutter commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1943. Originally designed for anti-submarine warfare during World War II, UNIMAK served in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters, performing convoy escort and search and rescue missions. After the war, she continued active service, undertaking law enforcement, oceanographic, and search and rescue operations, notably in Alaskan and Caribbean waters. UNIMAK remained in service for over four decades before being decommissioned in 1988, earning numerous awards for her distinguished service.
