By 1993 the Coast Guard recognized the need for major Fleet renovations
\nImmediately, the new 87′ PB would replace the 82s
\nMany one-of-a-kind cutters were scheduled to be decommissoned
\nProject Deepwater was placed on contract in 2001 to address other issues
\nA newly designed 418′ National Security Cutter would replace the 378s
\nA newly designed Fast Response Cutter (FRC) would replace the 110s
\nDesign issues caused the FRC to be replaced by the off-the-shelf Sentinel-Class
\nA newly designed Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) would replace the 210s and 270s
\nDesign issues also forced cancellation of the OPC
\nA new design contract was awarded in February 2014
\nThe aging 210s and 270s will remain in service for the forseeable future<\/strong><\/p>\n
