History:

Commissioned in 1984, USCGC Tampa is named in honor of the Coast Guard Cutter Tampa, which was lost during World War I. The modern Tampa has played a significant role in counter-narcotics operations, contributing to the seizure of substantial drug shipments in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.

Tampa is also involved in fisheries enforcement and search-and-rescue missions, particularly in the Atlantic. The cutter frequently participates in joint exercises with international partners, emphasizing its versatility and commitment to maritime security.
