History:

Commissioned in 1968, USCGC Mellon was named after Andrew W. Mellon, a former Secretary of the Treasury. Mellon served in diverse roles, including fisheries enforcement in the Bering Sea and counter-narcotics patrols in the Pacific. During the Vietnam War, it was deployed to support Operation Market Time, showcasing its combat versatility.

In later years, Mellon focused on Arctic operations, enforcing maritime laws in remote and environmentally sensitive regions. Decommissioned in 2021, Mellon’s contributions to the Coast Guard’s mission exemplified the adaptability and endurance of the Hamilton-class cutters.
