context_page_description: The Cutter Boat – Over the Horizon, is a cutter-deployed rigid-hulled inflatable boat in service with the United States Coast Guard. It is designed to pursue and interdict fast, non-compliant vessels. As of 1 March 2018, 78 boats have been delivered, and deployed on a variety of cutters, including the Maritime Security Cutters, Hamilton-class High Endurance Cutters, and Famous and Reliance-class Medium Endurance Cutters, and the Sentinel-class cutters. Eventually, at least 101 boats will be deployed.
context_section_description: The Coast Guard's newer cutters, the National Security Cutter, Sentinel-class cutter, and the smaller Marine Protector-class cutter are designed with a stern launching ramp. Stern launching ramps permit the cutters to deploy and retrieve water-jet propelled boats, without first coming to a stop.  The Marine Protector-class cutters require just a single crew member to remain on deck to control the deployment and retrieval of its jet boat.
