USCGC Marion (WSC-145)
USCGC ''Marion'' (WSC-145), was a United States Coast Guard ''Active''-class patrol boat in commission from 1927 to 1962. She was named for Francis Marion, an American Revolutionary War general who was known for his unconventional warfare tactics. ''Marion'' served during the Rum Patrol and World War II performing defense, law enforcement, ice patrol, and search and rescue missions. Most notably, ''Marion'' served as the platform for the first intensive oceanographic studies made by the Coast Guard.〔〔Johnson, pp 117–118〕
==Construction and commissioning==
''Marion'' was built by American Brown Boveri Electric Corporation at Camden, New Jersey. She was commissioned as USCGC ''Marion'' (WSC-145) on 6 April 1927. She was the eleventh of the ''Active''-class patrol boats to be commissioned, which were designed for trailing the "mother ships" that supported the smuggling boats of "rum-runners" during Prohibition. The ''Active''-class ships were also referred to unofficially as the "Buck & a Quarter" class in reference to their 125-foot length.〔Scheina (1990), pp 57–60〕〔Johnson, p 88〕
