[edit]I suspect it is incorrect to call these vessels USCGC Sequoia, etc. USCGC is short for USCG Cutter. But these are Buoy Tenders. -- Geo Swan 23:39, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
While this is a buoy tender, the vessel is still designated as a Coast Guard Cutter. Pertaining to the Coast Guard, a vessel is designated as a "cutter" if she is 65' in length or longer.
From the USCG webpage: "A "Cutter" is basically any CG vessel 65 feet in length or greater, having adequate accommodations for crew to live on board."
USCG 188' Chimo-class buoy tenders
[edit]Added list of these six cutters taken from Mine planter (U.S. Army). NB: One of the U.S. Army mine planters built 1904 - 1909 USS General Samuel M. Mills was transferred to U.S. Coast Guard 29 April 1922, named USCGC Pequot (WARC-58) on 1 May 1922, served as a cable ship (not buoy tender) until decommissioned 5 December 1946. This vessel was the first of two U.S. Army mine planters named Gen. Samuel M. Mills. She was the second U.S. Coast Guard cutter to be named Pequot.

Keeper class inclusion?
[edit]Should the Keeper class of coastal buoy tenders be added? While not quite as large, they seem to be related to the Junipers in some ways, being smaller and with a similar role, though they have Z-drive instead of conventional propeller & rudders. Also like the Juniper class, they were built by Fincantieri Marinette Marine.
