USCGC Juniper (WLB-201)
USCGC ''Juniper'' (WLB-201) is the lead ship of the U.S. Coast Guard's seagoing buoy tenders. She is outfitted with some of the most advanced technological and navigational capabilities currently available.
==Predecessors==
Her namesake, the first ''Juniper'', was commissioned into the U.S. Lighthouse Service (USLHS) back in 1903. The USLHS was its own uniformed service completely separate from the Coast Guard, (which was formed in 1915 by the merger of the Lifesaving Service with the Revenue Cutter Service). ''Juniper'', homeported in Baltimore, Maryland, was responsible for resupplying lighthouses and maintaining navigational buoys in the Chesapeake Bay until its decommissioning in 1932. While comparatively small at 95 feet long and 125 tons, ''Juniper'' was of solid construction and served as a civilian cargo vessel out of Norfolk up until 1979.
In the late 1930s, the USLHS constructed the second ''Juniper''. The USLHS was absorbed into the Coast Guard in 1939, and the Juniper was designated a Coastal Buoy Tender, WLM 224. WLM 224 was a twin screw (propeller), diesel electric vessel. She became the rough prototype for the 180' class of ocean-going buoy tenders, designated WLB. The WLM 224 ''Juniper'' operated out of St. Petersburg, Florida. She serviced aids to navigation all along the gulf coast of Florida, including Fort Jefferson National Monument. Juniper was decommissioned in 1975.〔http://www.uscg.mil/history/WEBCUTTERS/WLB_Photo_Index.asp〕
