USCGC Red Wood (WLM-685) is a Red-class coastal buoy tender that was designed, built, owned, and operated by the United States Coast Guard. She was launched in 1964 and homeported at New London, Connecticut for most of her career. In March 1996 she moved to Philadelphia where she replaced the decommissioned USCGC Red Oak.[1] Her primary mission while based in New London was maintaining over 200 aids to navigation from Watch Hill, Rhode Island to Execution Rocks at the west end of Long Island Sound. She also provided fuel and water to several lighthouses including the Falkner Island Lighthouse.[2] Her secondary missions included search and rescue, light icebreaking, law enforcement, and marine environmental protection. Red Wood was initially assigned to the 3rd Coast Guard District, but was later moved to the 1st Coast Guard District when the 3rd was absorbed in a reorganization.
At the end of her Coast Guard career she was transferred to the Argentine Navy, which renamed her ARA Ciudad de Rosario. She remains in active service as part of the Rivers Squadron based near Buenos Aires.
