Key Information
Description
[edit]The small boat station located on the base was re-opened in 2003 after being closed in 1996.[2] It is also home to Flotilla 5-3 of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.[3]
On 1 March 2021, the United States Department of Homeland Security solicited bids for base modifications to accommodate six new Sentinel-class cutters there.[4] The Coast Guard was expected to take delivery of the first two of these cutters, USCGC William Chadwick (WPC-1150) and USCGC Warren Deyampert (WPC-1151), in the second half of 2022.[5] Those two cutters were deployed in Boston during 2022 and 2023, respectively.[6][7]
