We have had many cloudy days recently . Some with snow like the
morning this CG boat came through . She is brand new , commissioned in 11-16 . This is the first of this class I have ever seen . Canon 80D set for 400 ISO Canon 70-200 F4 L __________________________________________________ ___________ __________________________________________________ ___________ INFO- The USCGC Rollin A. Fritch (WPC 1119) is the United States Coast Guard's 19th Sentinel class cutter, and the first to be stationed outside of Florida or Puerto Rico.[1][2] The Rollin A. Fritch will be stationed in Cape May, New Jersey. Rollin A. Fitch was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his selfless and heroic action to remain on station in defense of his ship and crewmembers while under heavy enemy fire during an attack on transport ship USS Callaway off the coast of Luzon, Philippines in 1945. 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 eight unseaworthy[4] 123-foot (37 m) lengthened 1980s-era 110-foot Island-class patrol boats, like USCGC Matagorda taken out of service in December 2006. Up 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. Class overview Name: Sentinel class Operators: United States Coast Guard Planned: 58 Active: 19 General characteristics Type: Cutter Displacement: 353 long tons (359 t) Length: 46.8 m (154 ft) Beam: 8.11 m (26.6 ft) Depth: 2.9 m (9.5 ft) Propulsion: 2 × 4,300 kW (5,800 shp) 1 × 75 kW (101 shp) bow thruster Speed: 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph) Endurance: 5 days, 2,500 nautical miles (4,600 km; 2,900 mi) Designed to be on patrol 2,500 hours per year Boats & landing craft carried: 1 × Over the horizon - Jet Complement: 2 officers, 20 crew Sensors and processing systems: L-3 C4ISR suite Armament: 1 × Mk 38 Mod 2 25 mm autocannon 4 × crew-served Browning M2 machine guns __________________________________________________ ______ |

A lot more superstructure than the Island Class they are replacing. Could almost have a bowling alley inside there. Thanks, Bob |
