Island - class patrol boat The Island - class patrol boat is a class of cutters of the United States Coast Guard . 49 cutters of the class were built , of which 41 remain in commission . Their hull numbers are WPB - 1301 through WPB - 1349 . Island - Class Patrol Boat Overview . The 110 ' Island - class patrol boats are a U . S . Coast Guard modification of a highly successful British - designed patrol boat . With excellent range and seakeeping capabilities , the Island class , all named after U . S . islands , replaced the older 95 - foot s . These cutters are equipped with advanced electronics and navigation equipment and are used on the front lines of the Coast Guard ' s Maritime Homeland Security , Migrant Interdiction , Fisheries Enforcement , and Search - and - Rescue missions . Conversion problems . As built , these vessels were all in length . In 2002 as part of the Integrated Deepwater System Program , the USCG began refitting these vessels , adding to the stern to make room for a high - speed stern launching ramp , and replacing the superstructure so that these vessels had enough room to accommodate mixed gender crews . The refit added about 15 tons to the vessel ' s displacement , and reduced its maximum speed by approximately one knot . In 2005 , then - Coast Guard Commandant Adm . Thomas H . Collins made the decision to stop the contractor ' s conversion at eight hulls when sea trials revealed intractable structural flaws . In August 2006 , a Lockheed Martin engineer went public with allegations that the company and the Coast Guard were ignoring serious security flaws in the refitting project , and that they were likely to repeat the same mistakes on similar projects . The flaws included blind spots in watch cameras , FLIR equipment not suitable for operating under extreme temperatures , and the use of non - shielded cables in secure communications systems , a violation of TEMPEST standards . In late November 2006 all eight of the 123 ' WPBs were taken out of service due to debilitating problems with their hulls . These as well as other issues - such as C4ISR problems - drove the program $ 60 million over budget , triple the original bid for the eight boats converted . The 41 unmodified 110 ' s are now being pressed harder to take up the slack .
