The USCGC Sea Fox was the last Marine Protector-class coastal patrol boat to be built. Her home port is Seattle, Washington.[1][2]
Unlike most cutters in her class she is owned by the United States Navy, although she is staffed by United States Coast Guard personnel.[2] She and her sister ship, the USCGC Sea Devil are employed to protect the Navy's largest submarines, the nuclear-armed Trident class, while in and near their moorings in Puget Sound.

This contract was suppose to end at 51 vessels, and now we're at 75," said Christopher Bollinger, executive vice president of new construction. "We're excited to see the workmanship continue as we start the next contract for 36 boats.""
