USCGC Stratton (WMSL-752) is the third Legend-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard. It is the first "white hull" cutter named after a woman since the 1980s (the USCGC Harriet Lane was launched in 1984). Stratton is named for Coast Guard Captain Dorothy C. Stratton (1899 – 2006). Stratton served as director of the SPARS, the Coast Guard Women's Reserve during World War II.


Construction began in 2008 by Northrop Grumman's Ship System Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The keel was laid on July 20, 2009. The cutter's sponsor is Michelle Obama, who is the first First Ladyto sponsor a Coast Guard cutter.


On July 23, 2010 Michelle Obama christened the cutter in a ceremony at the ship builder's.


In August 2011, the Stratton completed sea trials.


On September 2, 2011 the Stratton was acquired by the Coast Guard.


On December 19, 2011 Stratton collided with a pier in San Francisco in front of a crowd of onlookers and Navy League guests while being conned by her Executive Officer resulting in thousands of dollars in damage.


On March 31, 2012, the Stratton was officially commissioned by the Coast Guard in Alameda, California, with First Lady Michelle Obama in attendance.


In April 2012, the crew of the Stratton discovered four holes in the hull and the ship was sent to drydock to have these repaired.
