USCGC Leopold (WPB-1400) was planned to be a prototype 120-foot (37 m) Heritage-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard. She was ordered in 1989 to replace older ships and was planned to be completed in 1993. However, changing geopolitics, an unplanned rise in cost, and criticism led them to cancel the class in 1991. The unfinished Leopold was abandoned.
