The USCGC McCulloch (WPG-73) was a United States Coast Guard vessel commissioned in 1930. It served primarily as a patrol and law enforcement ship, playing a vital role in maritime safety and security during its operational years. The ship was equipped for various missions, including search and rescue, icebreaking, and enforcing maritime laws. During World War II, the McCulloch was involved in several important operations, including escorting convoys and conducting anti-submarine patrols. After the war, the vessel continued to serve until it was decommissioned in 1954. The McCulloch's legacy remains a testament to the Coast Guard's commitment to protecting U.S. waters.
