The Heritage-class cutter, also known as the Offshore Patrol Cutter and the Maritime Security Cutter, Medium, is a cutter class of the United States Coast Guard (USCG), developed as part of the Integrated Deepwater System Program and built by Eastern Shipbuilding [4] and Austal USA. [5]
The Island-class patrol boats were constructed in Bollinger Shipyards, Lockport, Louisiana. Mustang has an overall length of 110 feet (34 m). It had a beam of 21 feet (6.4 m) and a draft of 7.3 feet (2.2 m) in 2020. At that time, the patrol boat displaced 165 tonnes (162 long tons; 182 short tons) at full load.
The number of oars pulled varied with the size of the boat. A schedule of ship's boats of 1886 shows 34 to 30 feet (10.4 to 9.1 m) cutters pulling 12 oars, 28 feet (8.5 m), 10 oars, 26 to 20 feet (7.9 to 6.1 m), 8 oars and the two smallest sizes of 18 and 16 feet (5.5 and 4.9 m), 6 oars.
