USCGC Kathleen Moore (WPC-1109)

The USCGC Kathleen Moore is the ninth Sentinel-class cutter Bollinger shipyards delivered to the United States Coast Guard. She was delivered to the Coast Guard, for pre-commissioning testing, on March 28, 2014.

The first six cutters are home-ported in Miami, Florida. The second six cutters, including the Kathleen Moore, will be home-ported in Key West, Florida. The 58 cutters will replace the Island class cutters, and together with the smaller Marine Protector class cutters, will perform the Coast Guard's main offshore patrol duties.

Namesake
All the vessels of the Sentinel class are named after heroic members of the Coast Guard, or its precursor services, like the United States Lighthouse Service. Moore started working for the Lighthouse Service when she was 12 years old, and was credited with saving at least 21 lives over the course of her career.
