===Coast Guard, 1944=== COMINCH did not agree, and, considering similarly meager results and even losses by other Q-ships, cancelled the entire Q-ship program. ''Big Horn'' was ordered to Boston, and arriving there on 17 January 1944, was transferred to the [[United States Coast Guard]] as '''USCGC ''Big Horn'' (WAO-124)''' to join [[USS Asterion (AK-100)|''Asterion'']] (AK-100) on weather-patrol duty in the North Atlantic, under the supervision of the [[United States Coast Guard]] and manned by Coast Guard officers and crew. The ship was assigned to the [[1st Naval District]] and operated out of Boston. Her main duty was to conduct 25-day patrols on the Coast Guard's mid-ocean weather stations and report on surface and aerial weather conditions. These reports were used to determine air-ferry routes across the Atlantic and to reroute shipping around storm concentrations. Because her antisubmarine equipment still remained intact, she could take offensive action if such opportunities presented themselves. Her name was struck from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] on 22 January 1944.
