USCGC Gasconade is a Gasconade-class 75-foot (23 m) river buoy tender which was built in 1964 at St. Louis, Missouri where she was initially homeported.

Gasconade pushes a specific-use 90-foot (27 m) aid to navigation maintenance barge, with a crane and buoy service gear.

She is powered by two diesel engines turning two shafts with 600 bhp, giving the vessel a capability of eight knots.
