The USCGC Hamilton was launched on December 18, 1965, at Avondale Shipyards in New Orleans, Louisiana. Commissioned on March 18, 1967, it was the first of twelve modern Hamilton-class 378 foot, high endurance cutters built for the Coast Guard. The Hamilton is named in honor of Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, who founded the Revenue Cutter Services in 1790. The Revenue Cutter Service was the forerunner of today’s Coast Guard.
