Has Coast Guard built anything similar to the Sentinel Class patrol boat?
Yes. The Coast Guard successfully developed and procured more than 65 87- foot coastal patrol boats, through a disciplined acquisition process that featured close oversight of the contractor to ensure the product meets Coast Guard requirements. The 87- foot Coastal Patrol Boat acquisition process provided valuable lessons that will be carried forward to the Sentinel Class patrol boat program, which will also benefit from the expertise of Coast Guard personnel who were involved in the 87- foot cutter project.
