The United States Coast Guard (USCG) cutter Bernard C. Webber is at wide-open throttle making 28 knots through 1.5m-2.2m seas. It's bigger, faster, more technologically advanced and more robust than any similar previous class of Coast Guard cutter. The Sentinel class FRC (fast response cutter) was built at Bollinger Shipyards in Lockport, Louisiana, and engineered to ensure rock-solid performance in the stormiest oceans. To achieve this goal, every weld, fastener and steel plate is not merely inspected and tested, but ruthlessly scrutinised. Coast Guard ships are of necessity built to high standards, as described by Bollinger vice president and general manager Scott Theriot.
