USS Barataria (AVP-33), 1944-1948

USS Barataria, a 1,766-ton Barnegat class small seaplane tender, was built at Houghton, Washington, and was commissioned in August, 1944. She left the West Coast in November 1944 and commenced duty servicing seaplane squadrons in the Philippines in January 1945. She remained in the Philippines for the remainder of the war. Between September and December Barataria provided support to aircraft in Okinawa and at Shanghai, China, and Inchon, Korea. She returned to Seattle in December 1945 for inactivation and was decommissioned in July 1946.

In September 1948 Barataria was loaned to the Coast Guard as the cutter Barataria (WAVP-381, later WHEC-381). She served out of Portland, Maine, primarily on weather station duty, for most of her Coast Guard career. She was decommissioned in August 1969 and sold for scrap in September 1970.
