The USCGC Elm (WLB-204) was commissioned in 1998 as a part of the Juniper-class buoy tenders, designed to replace the aging fleet of 180-foot tenders. Based in Astoria, Oregon, the Elm ensures the safety and efficiency of navigational aids along the Pacific coastline. Its 225-foot hull is strengthened for ice-breaking, enabling it to operate in challenging conditions. The Elm is equipped with a Dynamic Positioning System, allowing for precise maneuvering while servicing buoys, conducting environmental clean-up, or responding to emergencies. Over its years of service, the Elm has been involved in numerous missions, including oil spill containment, hurricane relief, and search-and-rescue operations. Its versatility and technological advancements make it a cornerstone of the Coast Guard's mission to ensure safe and efficient maritime operations while protecting the environment.
