History:
Commissioned in 2002, the USCGC Oak (WLB-211) is another vessel in the Juniper-class buoy tenders, designed to provide essential navigational maintenance along the U.S. Atlantic Coast. Based in Norfolk, Virginia, the Oak is equipped with a Dynamic Positioning System for precise maneuvering and has a hull reinforced for ice-breaking operations, ensuring it remains effective even in challenging conditions.
The Oak plays a vital role in maintaining buoys, responding to oil spills, and supporting search-and-rescue missions. It also assists in the protection of marine environments, participating in pollution control and marine debris removal. The Oak’s service has been crucial in keeping shipping lanes safe and efficient along the East Coast, and its dedication to environmental preservation ensures it is a key asset in the Coast Guard’s fleet.
