USCGC Robert Yered (WPC-1104)

The USCGC Robert Yered is a serving in Miami, Florida. She was launched on November 23, 2012, and was commissioned in February 2012. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Congressional Representative for the district containing the vessel's base, met the ship when she arrived in Miami on January 27, 2013.

Like her sister ships, she is equipped for coastal security patrols, interdiction of drug and people smugglers, and search and rescue. Like the smaller she is equipped with a stern launching ramp. The ramp allows the deployment and retrieval of her high speed water-jet powered pursuit boat without first coming to a stop. She is capable of more than 25 kn and armed with a remote controlled 25 mm M242 Bushmaster autocannon; and four crew-served Browning M2 machine guns.

She is named after Robert Yered who heroically put out a fire in an ammunition dump while serving with the Coast Guard`s detachment in Vietnam.
