Offshore Patrol Cutter The United States Coast Guard ( USCG ) Offshore Patrol Cutter was one design among several new cutter designs developed as part of the Integrated Deepwater System Program . The cutter was originally proposed to include two rear - launching ramps , each capable of launching and retrieving a RHIB ( rigid - hull inflatable boat ) , without first stopping . Unlike smaller cutters , like the Marine Protector , the Offshore Patrol Cutter and the National Security Cutter will be able to launch and retrieve both the Short Range Prosecutor and the larger Long Range Interceptor . The RHIBs will be used for intercepting suspect vessels , or for rescuing swimmers . Both RHIB types are propelled by diesel powered water jets . In 2010 and 2011 some commentators speculated that the entire program was vulnerable to cancellation on budgetary grounds , because of the long delay in finalizing a preliminary design . A bill passed by the United States Congress on November 15 , 2011 , imposed conditions on the Coast Guard ' s capital expenditures , that revolved around the design of the Offshore Patrol Cutter . By December 2011 plans for the cutter started to become more concrete . Plans to include a stern launching ramp , as on the National Security Cutters and the Fast Response Cutters , had been eliminated on budgetary grounds .
