The fourteenth Webber class has been commissioned. http://coastguard.dodlive.mil/2015/10/welcome-back-to-the-fleet-heriberto-hernandez/
Fifteenth Webber class commissioned. That is the 15th in 7th district and the third in Puerto Rico. We expect three more there so the first non-7th district FRC should be commissioned in about a year. http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/newsroom/updates/frc012916.asp

“The U.S. Coast Guard has taken delivery of USCGC Bailey Barco on February 7, 2017 in Key West, Fla. The vessel is scheduled to be commissioned in Ketchikan, Alaska in June, 2017.”
This will be the second FRC in in Ketchikan.
Here is the CG press release on delivery of the 22nd FRC. https://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/newsroom/updates/frc020817.asp
It included a status of the program, “The Coast Guard has ordered 38 of the planned 58 FRCs, and 19 are in service: one in Cape May, New Jersey; six in Miami; six in Key West, Florida; and six in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The 20th FRC, Lawrence Lawson, is slated to be commissioned in March 2017 and will be the second FRC stationed in Cape May.”
Nice piece on commissioning of USCGC John McCormick (WPC-1121). http://www.alaskapublic.org/2017/04/14/u-s-coast-guard-commissions-fast-response-cutter-in-ketchikan/
Indicates we will have six Webber Class WPCs in Alaska. They will really benefit from their increased sea worthiness
