The new Island Class of 110-foot Patrol Boat (WPB) was designed with "a ten-ton space and weight reservation for additional weapon systems."
Όπως ανακοίνωσε το Πολεμικό Ναυτικό σε συνεδρίαση του Ανωτάτου Ναυτικού Συμβουλίου τη Δευτέρα 3/7/2023, ορίσθηκαν τα ονόματα των 4 νέων παράκτιων περιπολικών Island που παραλαμβάνονται από την Αμερικανική Ακτοφυλακή (τα πρώτα δύο ήδη έφθασαν στο Ναύσταθμο Σαλαμίνας).[As announced by the Navy at a meeting of the Supreme Naval Council on Monday, 3rd July 2023, the names of the 4 new Island-class coastal patrol vessels, which are being received from the U.S. Coast Guard, were designated (the first two have already arrived at the Salamis Naval Base).]
There are three variants of the Island Class. The A & B classes use two Paxman-Valenta 16 CM engines as there propulsion plants while the C class uses two Caterpillar 3516s.
The Coast Guard formally transferred the two patrol boats – the former cutters Long Island and Roanoke Island – to Costa Rica through the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) Program in October 2017.
The suit contends that Lockport-based Bollinger exaggerated the structural hull strength of the eight boats it had contracted to lengthen from 110 feet to 123 feet.
In the midst of a fleet transition from WPBs to WPCs, the PATFORSWA squadron currently consists of six 154' Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutters, a cutter relief crew, and a 150-member mission support detachment in Bahrain.
