USCGC Roanoke Island (WPB-1346)

The USCGC Roanoke Island is the 46th Island class cutter to be commissioned. She was commissioned in Homer, Alaska, on February 7, 1992. Five other Island Class cutters are based in Alaska. Her primary missions include "search and rescue, fisheries enforcement and homeland security."

In 2010 the Roanoke rescued a fishing vessel called Wahoo, when it became disable during bad weather near Pearl Island.

On October 25, 2012, following an 135-day refit in a drydock in Ketchikan Coast Guard Alaska explained the refit would allow the vessel to remain service until she was replaced by a new Sentinel class cutter. Nevertheless, the Homer News reported that the Roanoke would leave Homer by the end of June, 2015, for her decommissioning in Baltimore, Maryland. A sister ship, the Sapelo, previously stationed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, will replace her. The Sapelo will be freed up when as the Island class cutters in San Juan are replaced by new Sentinel-class cutters.
