caption_attribution_description: English: USCGC Cahoone (WSC-131; WMEC-131); no caption/number; photographer/date unknown. Cahoone was in service from 1927 through 1968. Note the crowded deck space of these small medium endurance cutters. They were powered by two General Motors diesel engines that drove two three-bladed propellers to a top speed of 12.0 knots. Designed to enforce Prohibition on the high seas, well out from shore where "mother ships" waited to offload their alcoholic cargo to smaller speed boats, they nevertheless proved to be adaptable to all of the Coast Guard's missions during their long careers.
