Tallapoosa-class cutter

The Tallapoosa-class cutters is a group of two Coast Guard cutters that served with the United States Coast Guard from the 1920s to the late 1940s.

Design
The Tallapoosa-class cutters were designed for long cruises, and their hulls were reinforced for light ice-breaking.

During World War II, the Ossipee was actually classified as a river gunboat (WPR) while the Tallapoosa was classified as a patrol gunboat (WPG).
