The United States Coast Guard Point Class Cutters are a class of 82 foot patrol vessels that were replaced by the 87 foot Marine Protector cutters for front line service.
One of the improvements of the Marine Protector class was that they were designed with berthing arrangements that would accommodate a mixed sex crew.
Launching boats is an essential task for Coast Guard cutters, for inspecting other vessels, or for rescuing survivors of maritime disasters. The Marine Protector class were designed with a ramp to launch and retrieve their Short Range Prosecutor Rigid Hull Inflatable boats. Point Class cutters had to stop to use a crane to launch and retrieve their boats. Cutters with a launching ramp can launch and retrieve their boats without stopping.
