History

The US Coast Guard Cutter Bear WMEC 901 was laid on August 23, 1979, launched on September 25, 1980, and formally commissioned on February 4, 1983. She is one of thirteen Famous Class 270-foot medium endurance cutters. At 1,800 tons these are fairly large ships and are well suited for ocean going search and rescue as well as coastal protection and enforcement. The Bear has made 18 significant drug seizures involving 12 marijuana and 6 cocaine busts during her career. She has operated not only along our coast lines, but also as far away as the Mediterranean in support of the Kosvo operations. The Bear is currently home ported in Portsmouth, VA. and as of 2005 continues to serve.
