USCGC Red Cedar (WLM-688) is a Red-class coastal buoy tender that was designed, built, owned, and operated by the United States Coast Guard. She was launched in 1970 and homeported in Norfolk, Virginia. Her primary mission was to maintain over 400 aides to navigation in Chesapeake Bay, Tangier Sound, the Potomac, Rappahannock, York, and James Rivers, and other nearby waterways.[1] Her secondary missions included search and rescue, light icebreaking, law enforcement, and marine environmental protection. She was assigned to the 5th Coast Guard District.

At the end of her Coast Guard career in 1999 she was transferred to the Argentine Navy, which renamed her ARA Ciudad de Zárate. She remains in active service.
