USCGC William Trump (WPC-1111) is a Sentinel-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard.[3][4] When she was delivered to the Coast Guard, on November 25, 2014, she was the eleventh vessel of her class, and the fifth vessel based in the Coast Guard's station in Key West, Florida.[1]

Like her sister ships she has the endurance to take her crew on five day missions of up to 2,500 nautical miles (4,600 km). She has modern electronics, integrating her with the rest of the Coast Guard and is designed for search and rescue, apprehending smuggling vessels, intercepting international refugees, and other constabulary duties. She carries a high-speed jet-boat, that is deployed and retrieved via her stern launching ramp. She is armed by a remotely controlled 25 mm autocannon, and four crew served Browning fifty caliber machine guns. Her two diesel engines can propel her at 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph).
