USCGC Ingham, Maritime museum in Key West, United States
The USCGC Ingham stands as a Treasury-class Coast Guard Cutter, measuring 327 feet in length with a displacement of 2,700 tons at the Key West Maritime Memorial.
The vessel protected supply convoys to Britain during World War II and successfully sank the German submarine U-626 on December 15, 1942 during Atlantic operations.
As a National Memorial to Coast Guardsmen, the ship displays a commemorative plaque honoring 912 service members who died during World War II and Vietnam conflicts.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, offering guided tours and maintaining a gift shop with Coast Guard memorabilia.
The USCGC Ingham received two Presidential Unit Citations for its military actions, making it the only Coast Guard Cutter with such recognition currently preserved.
