context_page_description: USCGC Argo (WPC-100) was a Thetis-class patrol boat belonging to the United States Coast Guard launched on 12 November 1932 and commissioned on 6 January 1933.
context_section_description: Later in 1945, Argo was assigned to the First Coast Guard District and was assigned to rescue duty.   Her new homeport was Rockland, Maine.  In 1947 the commander of First Coast Guard District requested to place Argo in "out of commission, in reserve" status due to manpower shortages.  The request was not initially approved.  The establishment of the Weather Patrol Program strained Coast Guard manpower and the Argo was placed in reserve status. The buoy tender USCGC Spar towed the vessel to Cape May, New Jersey where she was laid up.
