USCG 95 FOOT CAPE CLASS PATROL BOAT

The US Coast Guard Cape-Class patrol boats were 95-foot steel hull boats with aluminum superstructures. They were unnamed until 1964, when they acquired names of US capes of land. Originally designed for anti-submarine warfare, all 35 boats in this class were built at the USCG Yard in Curtis Bay, MD. There were three sub-classes of 95-footers. The A class was outfitted primarily for ASW (Anti Submarine Warfare). The B class was fitted more for SAR (Search and Rescue) with the addition of scramble nets, a towing bit, and a large searchlight. The C class vessels were constructed with a deck house aft of the bridge. 16 boats were overhauled as part of a renovation program began in the mid-late 1970s. The 95-footers were replaced by the 110-foot Island-Class patrol boats beginning in the late 1980s. Many of the 95-footers were transferred to nations of the Caribbean and South America after they were decommissioned out of Coast Guard service.
