“Honoring the legacy of the Island-Class patrol boats” –My CG

U.S. Coast Guard Cutters Naushon (WPB 1311), Mustang (WPB 1310), Liberty (WPB 1334) transit through Seymour Narrows in British Columbia, Canada, May 2025. Through the Excess Defense Articles program, these boats will find a second life with the Colombian navy. (U.S. Coast Guard photo courtesy of USCGC Mustang)

MyCG has a retrospective on the history of the Island class 110 foot WPBs, including some excellent photos.

USCGC Naushon (WPB 1311) conducts a familiarization patrol in Glacier Bay, Alaska, Oct. 21, 2008. Patrols like this one demonstrate the Coast Guard’s dedication to ports, waterways and coastal security, regardless of the wind, water or seas. This photo won second place in the 2009 Coast Guard Photo Contest. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Logan Wright)

  1. The best recognition of the 110′ Island Class Cutters is their continued service in multiple Coast Guards and Navies around the globe. Some continue to perform in combat.
