(For other ships with the same name, see USCGC Willow.) The USCGC Willow (WLB-202) is a United States Coast Guard seagoing buoy tender, the third of her name and the second of the Juniper-class. She is home-ported in Newport, Rhode Island, and normally tends some 189 buoys from her home port to Bar Harbor, Maine, along the New England coast to the Canada–United States border, however she is also responsible for maintenance support of National Data Buoy Center's offshore weather buoys. In addition to her primary aids-to-navigation (ATON) role, Willow also performs other duties, such as maritime border security, marine environmental protection, maritime law enforcement, and search and rescue.
