context_page_description: P191 Starobilsk is an Island-class patrol boat of the Naval Forces of Armed Forces of Ukraine.
  Originally she was named for Drummond Island, Michigan and then renamed for Starobilsk town. Drummond was commissioned October 19, 1988 at Bollinger Shipyard in Lockport, Louisiana, and was last homeported in San Juan, Puerto Rico. With a top speed in excess of 30 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots, the ship is capable of enduring unsupported operations for six days and accommodates two officers and sixteen enlisted personnel.
  The Coast Guard's first Sentinel class cutters were stationed in Florida, replacing Island Class cutters like the Drummond.
context_section_description: On September 27, 2018, the Drummond and the USCGC Cushing were formally transferred to Ukraine, after their retirement.  The two vessels were shipped, as deck cargo, and arrived in Odessa on October 21, 2019.
