During the Vietnam War, Coastal Flotilla 3 of the United States Coast Guard played a significant role in supporting U.S. military operations and conducting coastal security and interdiction missions in Vietnamese waters. Coastal Flotilla 3 was composed of various Coast Guard cutters and patrol boats that were deployed to Vietnam to assist in maritime operations.

The primary missions of Coastal Flotilla 3 included:

Port Security: Coastal Flotilla 3 vessels were responsible for providing security for ports and harbors in Vietnam, ensuring that they were not used by enemy forces to smuggle weapons or supplies.

Coastal Patrols: Flotilla 3 conducted patrols along the Vietnamese coast to detect and deter enemy infiltration and smuggling activities.

Search and Rescue: Flotilla 3 vessels were involved in search and rescue operations, assisting both military personnel and civilians in distress at sea.

River Patrols: Some vessels of Flotilla 3 operated in the inland waterways of Vietnam, conducting patrols to interdict enemy supply lines and provide support to ground forces.

Training and Advisory Support: Coast Guard personnel assigned to Flotilla 3 also provided training and advisory support to the Vietnamese Navy and Coast Guard, helping to improve their maritime capabilities.
