The USCGC Robert Yered (WPC-1104) is a Sentinel-class cutter based in Miami, Florida.[2][3] She was launched on 23 November 2012, and was commissioned on 15 February 2012.[4][1][5] Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Congressional Representative for the district containing the vessel's base, met the ship when she arrived in Miami on January 27, 2013.[6][7][8]

Etymology

She is named after Engineman First Class Robert Yered of the U.S. Coast Guard, who put out a fire on an ammunition barge while assigned with a U.S. Coast Guard Explosive Loading Detachment at Cat Lai, South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.[9] Yered was awarded a Silver Star by the U.S. Army for his heroism.[10][11][12][13][14][15]

History

Like her sister ships, she is equipped for coastal security patrols, interdiction of drug and people smugglers, and search and rescue.[16] Like the smaller Marine Protector class she is equipped with a stern launching ramp. The ramp allows the deployment and retrieval of her high speed water-jet powered pursuit boat without first coming to a stop. She is capable of more than 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph) and armed with a remote controlled 25 millimetres (0.98 in) M242 Bushmaster autocannon; and four crew-served Browning M2 machine guns.
