High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Sentinel-class Cutter, previously known as the Fast Response Cutter, is part of the United States Coast Guard`s Deepwater program. At 46.8 metres (154 ft) it is similar to, but larger than the 123-foot extended Island Class Cutters, like the USCGC Matagorda. 24 to 58 vessels are to be built by the Louisiana based firm Bollinger shipyards, using a design from the Netherlands-based Damen Group, with the Sentinel design based on the company`s Damen Stan 4708 patrol vessel.
