P193 Fastiv formerly USCGC Washington (WPB-1331) is an Island-class cutter formerly belonging to the United States Coast Guard. Washington was constructed at Bollinger Machine Shop and Shipyard in Lockport, Louisiana, and commissioned on 15 June 1990. She was transferred to Odessa, Ukraine in 2021 and is currently in service of the Ukrainian Navy.[1]

Formerly operating in the Coast Guard 14th District, the cutter reported to Sector Guam. Washington supports multi-mission operations throughout Sector Guam's vast area of responsibility, which includes the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zones surrounding Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and an international SAR area that includes the Republic of Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia, conducting search and rescue response missions, and ports, waterways and coastal security operations.[2]

Washington was decommissioned at Naval Base Guam on 18 December 2019.[3]

It was then delivered to Odessa, Ukraine on November 23, 2021 together with the USCGC Ocracoke on board the cargo ship Ocean Grand.[4] It was then enrolled into the service of the Ukrainian Navy on November 29, 2021[1] as a part of the 30th Surface Ships Division.
