The official site for Commissioning of the Stratton - USCGC Stratton WMSL 752

USCGC STRATTON (WMSL 752) bears the name of Captain Dorothy C. Stratton, the first Director of the Coast Guard’s SPARS (women in the Coast Guard during World War Two).

Help protect our nation. We have an incredible opportunity to make a difference and show the Coast Guard and the crew of USCGC STRATTON our support and appreciation for what they do 24/7 in this time of terrorist activities.

The third of a new class of National Security Cutter, a state-of-the-art 418-foot vessel designed to meet the challenges the Coast Guard faces today and for years to come, will be commissioned in Alameda at Coast Guard Island in March 2012. She will join the Coast Guard’s fleet in many important missions.
