USCGC Bernard C. Webber (WPC-1101) is the first of the United States Coast Guard's 58 Sentinel-class cutters.[4] Like most of her sister ships, she replaced a 110-foot (34 m) Island-class patrol boat. Bernard C. Webber, and the next five vessels in the class, Richard Etheridge, William Flores, Robert Yered, Margaret Norvell, and Paul Clark, are all based in Miami, Florida.[5]
Ship Commander Herb Eggert said, "We can expect the occasional visit by the new FRC's out of San Juan and Miami as assignments in this area are intelligence driven."
