Commissioned in 2004, the USCGC Alder (WLB-216) is a Juniper-class buoy tender operating in Duluth, Minnesota, primarily focused on maintaining navigational aids across the Upper Great Lakes region. Its ice-strengthened hull and advanced Dynamic Positioning System make it capable of operating in the region's harsh winter conditions. The Alder plays an essential role in maintaining the safety of major shipping lanes and protecting the environment through its oil spill response efforts and pollution control operations. It also participates in rescue missions and assists in disaster recovery efforts. Through its long history of service, the Alder has proven to be an indispensable asset to the Coast Guard's mission to ensure safe maritime navigation and environmental stewardship in the region.
