US Coast Guard takes delivery of fast response cutter Vincent Danz

The future Vincent Danz will be the fourth FRC to be homeported to Guam.

The cutter honours Petty Officer 2nd Class Vincent Danz, a coast guard reservist and full-time police officer who perished while responding to a request to evacuate people from the World Trade Center during the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on New York City.

The Sentinel-class cutters are designed for multiple missions including drug and migrant interdiction, ports, waterways and coastal security, fishery patrols, and search and rescue.
