History:
The USCGC Sequoia (WLB-215), commissioned in 2004, is a Juniper-class buoy tender that operates along the U.S. West Coast. Based in Eureka, California, the Sequoia’s main responsibilities include maintaining navigational aids, supporting environmental protection, and engaging in search-and-rescue missions.
Equipped with a Dynamic Positioning System, the Sequoia excels in precise operations such as buoy servicing and oil spill containment. Its reinforced hull allows the vessel to operate in varying sea conditions, from calm waters to severe storms. The Sequoia’s ability to adapt to different environments has made it an invaluable asset to the Coast Guard, assisting with emergency operations and ensuring safe passage for commercial and recreational vessels alike.
