The US Coast Guard has received its latest fast response cutter (FRC), Nathan Bruckenthal, in Key West, Florida, on 29 March.

This is the 28th FRC to join the coast guard’s fleet. It will be commissioned in July and stationed at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina.

The Sentinel-class FRCs are equipped with advanced C4ISR equipment to carry out a range of missions including drug and migrant interdiction; ports, waterways and coastal security; fishery patrols; search and rescue; and national defence.

The coast guard has ordered 44 of the 58 FRCs planned. Twenty-six have entered service to date.
