The largest of the US Coast Guards fast response boats..

The fast, long-range, highly-maneuverable
boat is a key piece to successful
interdiction efforts offshore. Both the fiberglass
hull (MKII) and the aluminum hull (MKIII) boats
feature the Furuno SINS
package, Graytonics integrated crew
communications systems and shockwave marine
suspension seats. CB-OTHs will replace
many of the existing cutter boats.

The CB-OTH MK III is deployed on the 378 FT HAMILTON Class High Endurance Cutter (WHEC), 
the 270 FT FAMOUS Class Medium Endurance Cutter (WMEC), 
and the 210 FT RELIANCE Class Medium Endurance Cutter (WMEC). 
The boat is designed for purposes of identifying, interrogating, tracking, and executing non-compliant vessel pursuit tactics to intercept fast moving targets of interest that fail to make contact with or attempt to elude U.S. Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), 
or other law enforcement vessels.
