USCGC Gallatin (WHEC-721) was a high endurance cutter of the United States Coast Guard, commissioned in 1968. Named after Albert Gallatin, the longest-serving U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Gallatin served primarily in law enforcement, search and rescue, and maritime defense operations along the Atlantic and Caribbean. The cutter participated in numerous drug interdiction missions and migrant rescues, earning multiple commendations for her service. After more than 45 years of active duty, Gallatin was decommissioned in 2014 and later transferred to the Nigerian Navy, continuing her legacy as NNS Okpabana.
