Cutters, Craft, & U.S. Coast Guard Manned Army & Navy Vessels

The following is an alphabetical list of named vessels of the Revenue Marine, Revenue Cutter Service, Coast Guard and Lighthouse Service.

The Historian's Office maintains a file on most of these vessels.

The date in parentheses is the date a vessel was commissioned in Revenue, Lighthouse, or Coast Guard service; no date is given to commissioned U.S. Navy warships or U.S. Army vessels manned by Coast Guard crews as such manning practices only occurred during World War II.
