Coastal cutters: Next-generation patrol boat to be made of composite materials

Article Abstract:

Composite materials will be used instead of steel and aluminum for constructing the Coast Guard's next generation of patrol boats. The use of composite materials for constructing the patrol boats will assist in reducing the amount of time spent on maintenance work like the scraping, painting, and repairing of the hull and could also offer advancements in service life, capability, technology and speed.
