As work continues on replacing its fleets of outdated ships, the Coast Guard is kicking off the development of two new programs a vessel for Arctic operations and a family of boats that will ply inland waterways.
“We have a lot going on. We’re doing more acquisitions than we’ve done since World War II,” said Rear Adm. Mike J. Johnston, assistant commandant for acquisition at the service.
Progress continues on the Coast Guard’s top shipbuilding priority, the Offshore Patrol Cutter, he said at the Surface Navy Association annual meeting in January.
