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."
