The USCGC Cochito (WPB-87329) is an 87-foot (27 m) Marine Protector cutter operated by the United States Coast Guard.
The class was the first to be equipped with a stern launching ramp, that allows the deployment or retrieval of a high speed, pursuit boat, without first bringing the cutter to a stop.
The Cochito was one of the Coast Guard resources mobilized to provide security in January 2013, for President Barack Obama's inauguration.
[1] In August 2018 the Cochito participated in a hunt for two missing boaters, for the Bahamas.
[2] In December 2021 the Cochito and her sister ships Albacore and Gannet were donated to the Uruguayan Navy through the Excess Defense Articles program.
