The "Treasury" class Coast Guard cutters (sometimes referred to as the "Secretary" or 327-foot class) were all named for former secretaries of the Treasury Department. The cutter Spencer was named for John C. Spencer, the 16th Secretary of the Treasury.

Spencer's most notable action was in April 1943 after departing St. John's, Newfoundland. She sailed with a Task Unit consisting of sister-cutter USS Duane, two British destroyers and two Canadian corvettes covering the east-bound convoy HX-233 and engages in actions that ended capturing the U-175. Crew of the Spencer were the first US sailors to board an enemy combatant vessel since 1812.
