History
The United States Coast Guard Point Class Cutters were a class of 82 foot patrol vessels designed to replace the aging 83 foot wooden hull patrol boat being used at the time. The design utilized a mild steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. The Coast Guard Yard discontinued the building of the 95 foot Cape class patrol boat in order to have the capacity to produce the 82 foot Point class patrol boat in 1960.They served as patrol vessels used in law enforcement and search and rescue along the coasts of the United States and the Caribbean. A total of 79 Point-class cutters were used for law enforcement and search and rescue patrol boats beginning in 1960. At the request of the U.S Navy, 26 of the Point class cutters were transported to Vietnam to serve with Coast Guard crews under U.S. Navy control during Operation Market Time.
