The vessel is the third of six cutters made for operations in Manama, Bahrain, and the 167th the company has delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard over a 35-year period.
Each fast response cutter is named for an enlisted Coast Guard member who distinguished themselves in the line of duty. Surfman Glen Harris piloted the first wave of the landing craft on Tulagi Island in the Pacific Theater during World War II, and also made a landing against a Japanese force on Guadalcanal Island.
