USCGC Sebago (WHEC-42) was an Owasco-class high endurance cutter commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1945. Originally built for World War II service, Sebago was primarily utilized during the postwar era for law enforcement, search and rescue, and ocean station patrols in the Atlantic and Caribbean. In the 1960s, Sebago participated in several notable rescue missions and supported NASA space missions by serving as a recovery ship. The cutter was decommissioned in 1972, marking nearly three decades of versatile service to the Coast Guard.
