USCGC Yakutat (WHEC-380) was a Casco-class cutter commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1944. Originally built as USS Wachusett (AVP-63), she was transferred to the Coast Guard and renamed Yakutat, serving primarily in the Pacific theater during World War II, where she performed convoy escort and search and rescue missions. Post-war, Yakutat was heavily involved in weather patrols and law enforcement operations, and played a notable role during the Vietnam War as part of Operation Market Time, interdicting enemy supply routes along the coast. She was decommissioned in 1971 and subsequently transferred to the Republic of Vietnam Navy.
