USS Narcissus (WAGL-238)

USS "Narcissus" (WAGL-238) was built for the Coast Guard by Marine Iron and Shipbuilding Corporation, Duluth, Minn. in 1939. Designed as a navigational aid tender, she was assigned to Wilmington, N.C. In 1940 she transferred to Portsmouth, Va.

Executive Order 8929 of 1 November 1941 transferred the Coast Guard to the Navy. Through the war years "Narcissus" continued to serve as a large inland buoy tender, operating out of Portsmouth. When the Coast Guard returned to the Treasury Department 1 January 1946, the tender remained in an active status. Through 1970 she has continued her buoytending duties from her permanent station at Portsmouth.
