USCGC Swivel (WYTL-65603) was one of fifteen 65-foot steel-hulled harbor tugs, that entered service with the United States Coast Guard in the 1960s.

USCGC Swivel was built by the Gibbs Gas Engine Company of Jacksonville, Florida, at a cost of $158,000.

Swivel's operations throughout the year included domestic icebreaking, aids to navigation, search and rescue, marine environmental protection, maritime law enforcement and commercial fishing vessel safety.

Swivel's main mission in the summer months was to maintain more than fifty fixed (non-floating) Coast Guard aids to navigation, including five lighthouses.

As part of the Coast Guard's closing of its base on Governors Island in New York City, the Swivel was brought down as a passenger and work boat for the Coast Guard and U.S. General Services Administration base closure staff.
