USCGC Eagle
Two ships of the United States Coast Guard have borne the name USCGC Eagle, in honor of the eagle, any of the various large birds of prey of the family Accipitridae, including members of the genera Aquila and Haliaeetus, marked by a powerful hooked bill, long broad wings, and strong, soaring flight. Four ships of the United States Revenue Cutter Service, an antecedent of the Coast Guard, had also been named "Eagle".
