The USCGC Sea Fox was the last Marine Protector-class coastal patrol boat to be built. Her home port is Seattle, Washington.[1][2]
Unlike most cutters in her class she is owned by the United States Navy, although she is staffed by United States Coast Guard personnel.[2] She and her sister ship, the USCGC Sea Devil are employed to protect the Navy's largest submarines, the nuclear-armed Trident class, while in and near their moorings in Puget Sound.
