USCGC Triton

USCGC Triton

Two ships of the U.S. Coast Guard have been named USCGC "Triton", after Triton, the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, and the personification of the roaring waters:

* The first "Triton" was a 165-foot cutter which operated out of Coast Guard Base 15 at Biloxi, Mississippi during what was referred to at the time as "the Prohibition War"—with operations against alcohol smugglers during Prohibition.

* The second "Triton" (WPC/WMEC-116) was a patrol boat that was commissioned in 1934 and served until 1967.
