Quote:
"When it comes to securing our homeland, and helping people along the coast, the Coast Guard has got a vital and significant mission. We must make sure that our Coast Guard has got a modern fleet of vessels. We must make sure that port security is as strong as possible."

President George W. Bush

The first award term for the Deepwater Program was announced on June 25, 2003.

Envisioned as a 20-year acquisition program, with a 30-year life to include post-delivery logistics support, the Deepwater Program "notional plan" was submitted and approved by the Coast Guard at that time.

Actual delivery schedule will be dependent on annual funding to the Deepwater Program.
