USCGC ''Waesche'' (WMSL-751) is the second ''Legend''-class National Security Cutter of the United States Coast Guard. ''Waesche'' is named for Coast Guard Admiral Russell R. Waesche (1886–1946). Waesche graduated from the United States Revenue Cutter Service School of Instruction in 1906, was commissioned an ensign, and then served with distinction in a succession of diverse and increasingly responsible Coast Guard assignments at sea and ashore. He served as Commandant of the Coast Guard from 1936 to 1945 during a tumultuous and eventful period in the life of the service, and was the first member of the Coast Guard to achieve the rank of admiral. Construction began in 2006 by Northrop Grumman's Ship System Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. On November 6, 2009 the Coast Guard took delivery of the ''Waesche''. She arrived at her homeport at Coast Guard Island, Alameda, California on February 28, 2010 〔(USCG Celebration! - Coast Guard's newest cutter arrives this weekend to new homeport, here in San Francisco Bay - Welcome USCGC Waesche! ), Sam Spade's San Francisco, February 27, 2010〕 and was commissioned on May 7, 2010.〔 She is currently home ported at Alameda, California.
