  • Coast Guard Cutter Procurement: Background and Issues for Congress
    Coast Guard Cutter Procurement: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs January 27, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42567 Coast Guard Cutter Procurement: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The Coast Guard’s program of record (POR) calls for procuring 8 National Security Cutters (NSCs), 25 Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPCs), and 58 Fast Response Cutters (FRCs) as replacements for 90 aging Coast Guard cutters and patrol craft. The NSC, OPC, and FRC programs have a combined estimated acquisition cost of about $21.1 billion, and the Coast Guard’s proposed FY2016 budget requested a total of $449.9 million in acquisition funding for the three programs. NSCs are the Coast Guard’s largest and most capable general-purpose cutters. They have an estimated average procurement cost of about $684 million per ship. The first five are now in service. The sixth, seventh, and eighth are under construction and scheduled for delivery in 2016, 2018, and 2019, respectively. A ninth ship in the class, which was not requested by the Coast Guard, was funded in FY2016. (The Coast Guard’s proposed FY2016 budget requested $91.4 million in acquisition funding for the NSC program for structural enhancements on the first two NSCs and post-delivery activities on NSCs 5 through 8.) OPCs are to be smaller, less expensive, and in some respects less capable than NSCs. They have an estimated average procurement cost of about $484 million per ship. The first OPC is to be procured in FY2018. Three shipyards—Bollinger Shipyards of Lockport, LA, Eastern Shipbuilding Group of Panama City, FL, and General Dynamics Bath Iron Works (GD/BIW) of Bath, ME—are competing for the contract to build the first 9 to 11 ships in the class.

  • NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT VESSEL: USS Escape (ARS-6) USCGC Escape (WMEC-6)
    NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT VESSEL: USS Escape (ARS-6) USCGC Escape (WMEC-6) USS Escape (ARS-6) underway in 1946. www.nafts.net/ars6.htm. Contributed by Craig Rothhammer. USCGC Escape (WMEC-6) U.S. Coast Guard photo. 2 Vessel History USS Escape (ARS-6) was a Diver-class Rescue Salvage Ship built for the U.S. Navy in 1942. Escape was launched November 22, 1942 and commissioned November 20, 1943. In December of 1943 Escape sailed from San Diego to Norfolk, Virginia, where it provided towing and salvage services. Between July and mid-September of 1944, Escape performed similar duties in Bermuda. After returning to Norfolk in September, Escape rescued the cargo ship George Ade, which was damaged and disabled in the Atlantic during a fierce hurricane. Escape was able to tow the vessel safely into port despite passing through another violent storm. Escape operated out of Bermuda for the first five months of 1945, during which time it towed three ships damaged by heavy seas safely into port. After returning to Norfolk, Escape sailed for the Pacific on August 11. However, when the war ended, its orders were changed and Escape returned from the Panama Canal Zone towing scows to Tampa, Florida. From there Escape proceeded to Davisville, Rhode Island to transport mooring buoys to Jacksonville, Florida, where the crew installed them in 1945. On November 8, Escape sailed from Key West escorting, and later towing, the Italian submarine Mameli. It delivered the submarine to Taranto, Italy and returned to Norfolk January 22, 1946. Escape was decommissioned July 20, 1946 and placed in the Reserve Fleet at Orange, Texas.

The NSC, OPC, and FRC programs have a combined estimated acquisition cost of about $21.1 billion, and the Coast Guard’s proposed FY2015 budget requests a total of $768 million in acquisition funding for the three programs. NSCs are the Coast Guard’s largest and most capable general-purpose cutters. They have an estimated average procurement cost of about $684 million per ship. The first four are now in service, the fifth through seventh are in various stages of construction, and long lead time materials (LLTM) are being procured for the eighth. The Coast Guard’s proposed FY2015 budget requests $638 million for the NSC program, including $558.7 million for the eighth NSC. OPCs are to be smaller, less expensive, and in some respects less capable than NSCs. They have an estimated average procurement cost of about $484 million per ship. The first OPC is to be procured in FY2017. The Coast Guard’s proposed FY2015 budget requests $20 million in acquisition funding for the OPC program. FRCs are considerably smaller and less expensive than OPCs. They have an estimated average procurement cost of about $73 million per boat.

  • Coast Guard Cutter Procurement: Background and Issues for Congress
    Coast Guard Cutter Procurement: Background and Issues for Congress Updated December 18, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42567 Coast Guard Cutter Procurement: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The Coast Guard’s program of record (POR) calls for procuring 8 National Security Cutters (NSCs), 25 Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPCs), and 58 Fast Response Cutters (FRCs) as replacements for 90 aging Coast Guard high-endurance cutters, medium-endurance cutters, and patrol craft. The Coast Guard’s proposed FY2020 budget requests a total of $657 million in procurement funding for the NSC, OPC, and FRC programs. NSCs are the Coast Guard’s largest and most capable general-purpose cutters; they are intended to replace the Coast Guard’s 12 aged Hamilton-class high-endurance cutters. NSCs have an estimated average procurement cost of about $670 million per ship. Although the Coast Guard’s POR calls for procuring a total of 8 NSCs to replace the 12 Hamilton-class cutters, Congress through FY2019 has funded 11 NSCs, including the 10th and 11th in FY2018. Eight NSCs have entered service; the seventh and eighth were commissioned into service on August 24, 2019. The 9th through 11th are under construction; the 9th is scheduled for delivery in 2021. The Coast Guard’s proposed FY2020 budget requests $60 million in procurement funding for the NSC program; this request does not include funding for a 12th NSC. OPCs are to be less expensive and in some respects less capable than NSCs; they are intended to replace the Coast Guard’s 29 aged medium-endurance cutters.
