| - The ship WMEC-909's name primarily commemorates, USCGC Campbell (WPG-32), was sunk as a training target in November 1984. A final message, broadcast as she went down almost completely intact following a strike from a Harpoon missile, proclaimed the birth of the USCGC Campbell WMEC-909. It concluded with the words "The Queen is dead. Long live the Queen.", a reference to the "Queen of the Seas" title bestowed on the prior Campbell during her 46 years of service. The keel for WMEC-909 had been laid at the Derecktor shipyard in Mamaroneck, New York on 10 August 1984. She was launched on 29 April 1986 and commissioned into service on 19 August 1988. USCGC Campbell was the ninth of thirteen Famous-class cutters built by Derecktor to replace WWII and pre-WWII cutters.
