SENTINEL CLASS
An accurate model of the USCG fast response cutter
The Sentinel-class cutter, also known as
Fast Response Cutter, is part of the United States Coast
Guard's Deepwater program. Up to 58 vessels are to be
built by the Louisiana-based firm Bollinger Shipyards,
using a design from the Netherlands-based Damen Group.
The Department of Homeland Security's budget proposal to
Congress, for the Coast Guard, for 2021, stated that, in
addition to 58 vessels to serve the Continental US, they
requested an additional six vessels for its portion of

Sentinel Class design is a modified version of the Damen
Stan 4708 patrol vessel. Modifications include the
addition of fixed pitch in place of variable pitch
propellers, a stern launching ramp and watertight
bulkheads. They can conduct all missions in sea
state 4 and survive in sea state 6. The 164-foot ship It can accommodate a
crew of 22, including 18 enlisted, two chief petty
officers and two officers. The ship can endure for a minimum

The Sentinel Class cutter is powered by two 20-cylinder MTU
engines developing a total power output of 4,300kW,
providing a maximum speed of over 28kt. The
bow thruster delivers 75kW power.
Sentinel cutters feature a bow thruster for manoeuvering
in narrow anchorages and channels. Small underwater fins
fitted on the vessel resist the rolling and pitching

short-range prosecutor rigid-hull inflatable boats for rescue
and interception missions.
