USCGC Point Slocum (WPB-82313) was an 82-foot (25 m) Point class cutter constructed at the Coast Guard Yard at Curtis Bay, Maryland in 1961 for use as a law enforcement and search and rescue patrol boat. Since the Coast Guard policy in 1960 was not to name cutters under 100-foot (30 m) in length, it was designated as WPB-82313 when commissioned and acquired the name Point Slocum in January 1964 when the Coast Guard started naming all cutters longer than 65-foot (20 m).
