United States Coast Guard Service
After more than two years of inactivity, Barataria was loaned to the United States Coast Guard on 17 September 1948. She became the Coast Guard cutter USCGC Barataria (WAVP-381). Later reclassified as a high endurance cutter and redesignated WHEC-381, Barataria was based at Portland, Maine, for most of her Coast Guard career. Her primary duty was to patrol ocean stations in the North Atlantic Ocean, reporting weather data and engaging in search-and-rescue and law-enforcement operations.
Barataria was stricken from the Navy List on 26 September 1966 and transferred outright to the Coast Guard on the same day. She served a tour in the Vietnam War in 1967-1968, then served on ocean stations in the Pacific Ocean.
The Coast Guard decommissioned Barataria in August 1969 and sold her for scrap in either September or October 1970 to N. W. Kennedy of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Famous quotes containing the words united states, united, states, coast, guard and/or service:
“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“I incline to think that the people will not now sustain the policy of upholding a State Government against a rival government, by the use of the forces of the United States. If this leads to the overthrow of the de jure government in a State, the de facto government must be recognized.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“My impression about the Panama Canal is that the great revolution it is going to introduce in the trade of the world is in the trade between the east and the west coast of the United States.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
—Bible: New Testament, Philippians 4:7.
“I can counterfeit the deep tragedian,
Speak, and look back, and pry on every side,
Tremble and start at wagging of a straw,
Intending deep suspicion. Ghastly looks
Are at my service like enforced smiles,
And both are ready in their offices
At any time to grace my stratagems.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
