DPB-38 — U.S. Coast Guard 38' Deployable Pursuit Boat (DPB)

Dpb1 — U.S. Coast Guard 38' Deployable Pursuit Boat (DPB) getting some air.

The 38 ft (11.6 m) Deployable Pursuit Boat (DPB) gives the United States Coast Guard a new capability in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific. About 85% of the cocaine smuggled through those areas travels on "go-fasts", 30 to 40 ft (9 to 12 m) high speed craft which each carry 1,000 to 2,000 kg of illegal narcotics. Working with other Coast Guard assets, DPB crews will be able to intercept and board "go-fasts", and significantly reduce the flow of drugs through the transit zone.
