United States Coast Guard Base Boston is located in the North End, Boston, Massachusetts. It is home to a number of cutters, USCGC Marlin (WPB-87304), USCGC Pendant (WYTL-65608) and soon to host 6 new Fast Response Cutters, along with other small fleet units. The small boat station located on the base was re-opened in 2003 after being closed in 1996. It is also home to Flotilla 5-3 of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.
On 1 March 2021, the United States Department of Homeland Security solicited bids for base modifications to accommodate six new fast response cutters there.[1] The Coast Guard is expected to take delivery of the first two of these cutters, USCGC William Chadwick (WPC-1150) and USCGC Warren Deyampert (WPC-1151), in the second half of 2022.[2]
