USCGC Legare (WMEC-912) is a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter. Legare was laid down July 11, 1986 at Robert Derecktor Shipyard Incorporated of Middletown, Rhode Island. She was named for Hugh Swinton Legare, a former United States Attorney General under President John Tyler. Legare was delivered December 1, 1989 and was commissioned August 4, 1990 at her homeport of Portsmouth, Virginia.
In 2009 the Legare participated in joint patrols with vessels of African nations.
The Legare arrived at the Coast Guard Yard on June 24, 2024 to begin a major overhaul. The work will be carried out under the Service Life Extension Program and is collectively referred to as the "SLEP". It is intended to increase the cutter's lifetime by up to ten years by replacing her obsolete equipment and by generally making her easier to maintain. In particular, the Legare's main diesel engines will be replaced. The other areas on which the SLEP will concentrate are the cutter's weapons system, electrical system and hull. The Legare is scheduled to spend 15 months in SLEP.
