	USCG seagoing buoy tender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The seagoing buoy tender is a class of small U.S. Coast Guard cutters that were designed to serve multiple missions in the Great Lakes and the oceans of the world.
		Their primary mission is to tend to all Coast Guard aids to navigation (ATON), such as buoys and lighthouses.
		In addition, they also perform search and rescue missions, light ice-breaking, and law enforcement.

		The development of accurate systems for taking lines of position based on the measurement of stars and planets with the sextant allowed ships to navigate the open ocean without needing to see land marks.
		Later developments included the placing of lighthouses and buoys close to shore to act as marine signposts identifying ambiguous features, highlighting hazards and pointing to safe channels for ships approaching some part of a coast after a long sea voyage.
		The invention of the radio lead to radio beacons and radio direction finders providing accurate land-based fixes even hundreds of miles from shore.
