USCGC Dauntless (WMEC-624) is a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter, commissioned in 1968.
She is the first cutter in Coast Guard history to hold this name. Like all ships in the Reliance class of 210-foot medium-endurance cutters, Dauntless is named for an aspirational trait, in this case meaning to "persevere fearlessly." This trait is further reflected in the ship's motto Sin Miedo which, in Spanish, means "Without Fear."[1]
^"US Coast Guard Cutter Dauntless celebrated for 56 years' service during heritage recognition ceremony" (Press release). Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida: United States Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security. June 21, 2024. Retrieved June 22, 2024. Dauntless was named after the inspirational trait, which means to persevere fearlessly. It's motto, "Sin Miedo," translated as "Without Fear," also underscores the same spirit valued by the cutter's crews. It is the first Coast Guard cutter to bear its name.
