Tallapoosa class cutter

Tallapoosa class cutter

The "Tallapoosa"-class cutters, the "Tallapoosa" and "Ossipee", were designed for long cruises. Their hulls were reinforced for light ice-breaking. During World War II, the "Ossipee" was actually classified as a river gunboat (WPR) while the "Tallapoosa" was classified as a patrol gunboat (WPG).
