USCGC Tahoe was a Lake-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard launched on 12 June 1928 and commissioned on 8 November 1928.[1] After 13 years of service with the Coast Guard, she was transferred to the Royal Navy as part of the Lend-Lease Act.

Career

US Coast Guard - Tahoe

After commissioning in November 1928[2] with Commander Leon C. Covell in command,[3] the Tahoe was homeported in San Francisco and assigned to the Bering Sea Patrol.[2]

Royal Navy - Fishguard

As part of the Lend-Lease Act she was transferred to the Royal Navy where she was renamed HMS Fishguard (Y59) and commissioned on 12 May 1941.[4] In May 1944, the crew of Fishguard boarded U-852 and captured her crew after she was damaged by British aircraft. At the end of the war, in March 1946, Fishguard was returned to the USCG.[4]

US Coast Guard - Tahoe (post war)

Upon her return to the USCG, her recommissioning was cancelled and she was sold in October 1947.[2]
