In July 2014, it was announced that the U.S. Coast Guard had exercised a $225 million option at Bollinger Shipyards for construction through 2017 of an additional six Sentinel-class Fast Response Cutters (FRCs), bringing the total number of FRCs under contract with Bollinger to 30. Later that number was increased to 32 cutters.

In May 2016, Bollinger Shipyards announced that the U.S. Coast Guard had awarded it a new contract for building the final 26 Sentinel-class fast-response cutters.

The vessels are armed with a remote-control [[Mark 38 25 mm Machine Gun System|Mark 38 25 mm Machine Gun System]] and four crew-served .50-caliber (12.7 mm) [[Browning M2 machine gun|M2HB heavy machine guns]].

They are equipped with a [[stern launching ramp]], like the {{sclass2|Marine Protector|coastal patrol boat|0}} and the eight failed expanded Island-class cutters. They are manned by a crew of 22.

===Crew accommodation=== Prior to the deployment of the Marine Protector class, the Coast Guard decided that all its cutters, even its smallest, should be able to accommodate mixed-gender crews. The Sentinel-class cutters are able to accommodate mixed-gender crews. When {{USCGC|Rollin Fritch}} was commissioned, a profile in ''[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]'' asserted off-duty crew members had access to satellite television broadcasts.<ref name=Philly2016-11-19/> The vessels come equipped with a desalination unit.<ref name=Philly2016-11-19/>

==Operational histories== [[File:The USCG pursued this 35 foot vessel, stolen from Fort Myers Florida, in December 2015, for over 300 miles -a.jpg|thumb|Video was released when USCGC ''William Trump'' conducted a 20-hour pursuit of a high-speed {{Convert|35|ft|m|abbr=on}} [[center console (boat)|center console]] boat stolen from [[Fort Myers, Florida]], in December 2015.<ref name=FortMPN2015-12-27/><ref name=Nbc2015-12-28/>]]

Press coverage of the vessels' operational histories suggests they have been effective at interdicting refugees who resort to dangerous overloaded small boats, and effective at capturing drug smugglers.<ref name=PalmBeachPost2016-04-10/><ref name=SpaceCoastDaily2015-11-22/><ref name=MiamiHerald2015-12-20/><ref name=Dvidshub2015-11-20/><ref name=DoD101-2015-08-26/>

The cutters have intercepted smugglers carrying large shipments of drugs.<ref name=TrinidadExpress2017-03-02/> In February 2017 ''Joseph Napier'' intercepted a shipment of over four tons of cocaine, reported to be the largest drug-bust in the Atlantic Ocean since 1999.

Cutters are given tasks like looking for shipping containers full of toxic cargo that have fallen from [[container ship]]s, as {{USCGC|Margaret Norvell|WPC-1105|6}} did in December 2015, when 25 containers fell from the [[barge]] {{ship||Columbia Elizabeth}}.<ref name= Cbs2015-12-06/><ref name=Uscg2015-12-06a/> Similarly, ''Charles Sexton'' helped search for the freighter {{SS|El Faro||2}} when she was lost at sea during [[Hurricane Joaquin]] in October 2015.<ref name=keysnet2015-10-15/>

In 2018 and 2019 ''Oliver Berry'' and ''Joseph Gerczak'' made voyages beyond the design range, on missions from Hawaii to the [[Marshall Islands]] and [[American Samoa]].<ref name=Dvids2018-08-01/><ref name=Dvidshub2019-08-03/> Both voyages took nine days.

In August 2022, one of the ships in the Sentinel class, ''Oliver Henry'', was stuck in the [[Solomon Islands]] after the country's government failed to respond to a fuel request.<ref>{{cite news |date=August 25, 2022 |title=US Coast Guard vessel patrolling for illegal fishing unable to refuel in Solomon Islands |newspaper=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]] |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-26/us-coast-guard-vessel-unable-to-refuel-in-solomon-islands/101377816}}</ref>

In February 2024, ''Clarence Sutphin Jr.'' intercepted a shipment of weaponry on its way to the [[Houthi]] militia in the Red Sea.<ref>https://executivedigest.sapo.pt/noticias/marinha-americana-interceta-carregamento-de-armas-para-o-grupo-rebelde-houthi-vindo-do-irao (in Portuguese)</ref>

In 2013 the name of Joseph Napier was reassigned to WPC-1115 when WPC-1110 was named after the recently deceased Commander [[Raymond Evans (USCG)|Raymond Evans]]. The other ten new namesakes were: [[Winslow W. Griesser]], [[Richard H. Patterson]], [[Joseph Tezanos]], [[Rollin A. Fritch]], [[Lawrence O. Lawson]], [[John F. McCormick]], [[Bailey T.

The 17th cutter (ex-USCGC ''Richard Patterson'') was renamed as ''Donald Horsley'' after request of the Patterson Family, and the 24th cutter (ex-USCGC ''Donald Horsley'') then was renamed as ''Oliver Berry''.

In July 2014, [[Coast Guard Commandant]] [[Paul Zukunft]] announced that the Coast Guard would name an additional cutter after [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Terrell Horne]], the first Coast Guard member to be murdered in the line of duty since 1927.<ref name=UscgHorneSentinel>{{cite news |url = http://coastguard.dodlive.mil/2014/07/coast-guard-to-name-cutter-for-bmcs-terrell-horne-iii/ |title = Coast Guard to name cutter for BMCS Terrell Horne III |publisher = [[Coast Guard Compass]] |author = Christopher Lagan |date = 2014-07-30 |access-date = 2014-08-02 |quote = The Commandant personally informed the Horne family earlier today a fast response cutter will bear Terrell Horne's name in honor of his sacrifice and faithful service in defense of his nation. |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140806070438/http://coastguard.dodlive.mil/2014/07/coast-guard-to-name-cutter-for-bmcs-terrell-horne-iii/ |archive-date = 2014-08-06 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref name=LAObserved2014-02-05> {{cite news | url = http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2014/02/mexican_smugglers_convict.php | title = Mexican smugglers convicted in sea death of Coast Guard Chief Horne | publisher = [[LA Observed]] | author = Kevin Roderick | date = 2014-02-05 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140715001218/http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2014/02/mexican_smugglers_convict.php | archive-date = 2014-07-15 | access-date = 2014-08-06 | url-status = live | quote = Two Mexican nationals from Ensenada who were apprehended on a smuggling panga in December 2012 were convicted today in the death of Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III. }} </ref><ref name=LATimes2014-02-15> {{cite news | url = https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-mexican-nationals-convicted-coast-guard-20140205-story.html | title = Mexican nationals convicted in 2012 death of Coast Guardsman | newspaper = [[Los Angeles Times]] | author = Kate Mather | date = 2014-02-15 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140802170025/http://articles.latimes.com/2014/feb/05/local/la-me-ln-mexican-nationals-convicted-coast-guard-20140205 | archive-date = 2014-08-02 | access-date = 2014-08-06 | url-status = live | quote = Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III's death made him the first Coast Guardsman murdered in the line of duty since 1927, officials said.

In February 2015, the Coast Guard publicized ten more names tentatively assigned to cutters 26 through 35.<ref name=Uscg2015-02-27/> They were: [[Joseph Gerczak]], [[Richard T.

In December 2017, the Coast Guard announced the names of the 35th through 54th cutters.<ref name=Seapower2017-12-12/> The twenty namesakes are: [[Angela McShan]], [[Daniel Tarr]], [[Edgar Culbertson]], [[Harold Miller (USCG)|Harold Miller]], [[Myrtle Hazard]], [[Oliver Henry (USCG)|Oliver Henry]], [[Charles Moulthrope]], [[Robert Goldman (USCG)|Robert Goldman]], [[Frederick Hatch (lighthouse keeper)|Frederick Hatch]],<ref>https://www.pacificarea.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Oceania-District/Oceania-District-Cutters/CGC-FREDERICK-HATCH/Namesake/</ref> [[Glen Harris]], [[Emlen Tunnell]], [[John Scheuerman]], [[Clarence Sutphin]], [[Pablo Valent]], [[Douglas Denman]], [[William Chadwick (USCG)|William Chadwick]], [[USCGC Escanaba (WPG-77)#SS Dorchester rescues|Warren Deyampert]], [[Maurice D.

The 35th cutter (ex-USCGC ''Oliver Berry'') is to be named as ''Angela McShan'' since the 24th cutter (ex-USCGC ''Donald Horsley'') was renamed as ''Oliver Berry''.

In October 2019, the Coast Guard named the namesakes of cutters 55 through 64. They are: [[Melvin Bell]], [[David Duren]], [[Florence Finch]], [[John G.

The shipbuilders (Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman) screwed up, big time. While the Coast Guard shares some of the blame, for coming up with new concepts that didn't work out, the shipbuilders are the primary culprits because they are, well, the shipbuilding professionals and signed off on the Coast Guard concepts. Under intense pressure from media, politicians, and the shame of it all, the Coast Guard promptly went looking for an existing (off-the-shelf) design and in a hurry. That had become urgent because of an earlier screw-up. }} </ref>
