Commissioned during World War II, the ship played a vital role in maintaining aids to navigation along the U.S. East Coast. Acacia was involved in various rescue missions, law enforcement activities, and environmental protection efforts over its long service history. The ship underwent numerous upgrades and modernizations to improve its capabilities. Acacia was decommissioned in 2006 after more than six decades of service and was eventually transferred to the Nigerian Navy, where it continued its duties under the name NNS Kyanwa. The ship's legacy lives on through its contributions to maritime safety and security during its active years.
