This specific vessel falls under the category of the National Security Cutters, which are primarily used for drug interdiction, migrant interception, and law enforcement within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) as well as on international waters. The USCGC Tahoma was commissioned in 2010, making it a relatively modern asset in the USCG fleet. The vessel is equipped with advanced technology such as helicopter capabilities, high-tech electronics for navigation and surveillance, and sophisticated weapon systems to fulfill its mission effectively. The WMEC (Wide-beam Medium Endurance Cutter) designation reflects the Tahoma's mid-range capability in terms of endurance, speed, and cargo capacity. Its primary role is to protect the coastline and enforce U.S. laws at sea, ensuring maritime safety, security, and protection of the environment.
