boats

April 2003. One hundred off-the-shelve motor boats were ordered delivered during April for homeland security to check shipping in harbors. These are to replace boats sent south for the winter that now have to go back to the Great Lakes. Probably similar to this picture.
Ship Facts
110-foot Patrol Boat (WPB), Photo
Island Class - 49 boats in service ; 8 ordered to Persian Gulf.
Length: 110 feet ; Beam: 21 feet ; Displacement: 154 tons
Power plant: two diesel engines ; Commissioned: 1986-1992
110-foot Island-class Patrol Boats are a Coast Guard modification of a highly successful British-designed patrol boat. With excellent range and seakeeping capabilities, the Island Class, all named after U.S. islands, replaced the older 95-foot Cape-class patrol boats. These cutters are equipped with advanced electronics and navigation equipment. These aging cutters are slowly being rebuilt as 123' cutters with a stern ramp.

Fast Responce Cutter New design to replace 110-foot Patrol Cutter sometime in the future with a 140-foot cutter.
Famous Class, Medium Endurance Cutter - WMEC - 13 ships
Length : 270 feet ; Speed : 20 knots (23.5 miles per hour)
Personnel : 14 officers, 8 CPO's, 83 enlisted
Power Plant : Two ALCO Main Diesel Engines, shaft hp 7,000 total
These multipurpose cutters were designed for general patrol duties and are fitted with a telescoping helicopter hangar. The ships have not been entirely satisfactory because they are crowded, slow, and their seakeeping qualities are poor. They were originally intended to accommodate a number of additional weapons systems for wartime escort service, but these plans were unrealistic. Although designed for 14-day patrols, they are commonly forced to carry out 90-day patrols off Haiti.

378-foot High Endurance Cutter (WHEC) Photo
Hamilton class -- number in service : 12 . Two ordered to Persian Gulf.
Commissioned: 1967-1972
Length: 378 feet ; Beam: 43 feet ; Displacement: 3,250 tons
Power Plant: Two diesel engines/two gas turbine engines, variable pitch screws.
The Hamilton class cutters have unique capabilities in maritime law enforcement, port security and search and rescue, plus its modern command, control and communications equipment make the cutter an important asset for this mission. Equipped for helicopter deployment.
