USCGC Joseph Gerczak (WPC-1126) is the 26th {{sclass2-|Sentinel|cutter|0}} cutter built for the United States Coast Guard.[3] She will be the second member of the three members of her class to be homeported in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Design

Like her sister ships, Joseph Gerczak is designed to perform search and rescue missions, port security, and the interception of smugglers.[4] She is armed with a remotely controlled, gyrostabilized 25 mm autocannon, four crew-served M2 Browning machine guns, and light arms. She is equipped with a stern launching ramp, that allows her to launch or retrieve a water-jet propelled high-speed auxiliary boat, without first coming to a stop. Her high-speed boat has over-the-horizon capability, and is useful for inspecting other vessels, and deploying boarding parties. She is designed to support her crew of 24 for missions of up to five days, over distances of almost {{convert|3,000|nmi|lk=in|0}}.

Operational history

Namesake

In 2010, Charles "Skip" W. Bowen, who was then the United States Coast Guard's most senior non-commissioned officer, proposed that all 58 cutters in the Sentinel class should be named after enlisted sailors in the Coast Guard, or one of its precursor services, who were recognized for their heroism.[5][6] In 2015 the Coast Guard announced that Joseph Gerczak, who coolly shot down two Japanese planes, during World War 2, before he himself was shot, would be the namesake of the 26th cutter.
