USCGC Alert (WMEC-630)

USCGC "Alert" (WMEC-630) is a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter and is the last 210-foot medium endurance cutter constructed. The keel was laid on January 5, 1968 at the Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland, and she was commissioned on Coast Guard Day, August 4, 1969. "Alert" derives her name from the early 19th century sailing ship "Alert", which served in the Revenue Cutter Service under George Washington. [http://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/alert/history.html]
