USCGC Cushing (WPB-1321) was a 110-foot {{sclass2-|Island|patrol boat}} of the United States Coast Guard. She was built at Bollinger Shipyards in Lockport, Louisiana, in the Spring of 1988 and commissioned on Aug. 4, 1988, at Coast Guard Base Mobile, Alabama. She was homeported in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina.^[1] On March 8, 2017 the Cushing was decommissioned along with the USCGC Nantucket in North Carolina. Two {{sclass2-|Sentinel|cutter|1}}s will replace both cutter's next year.^[2]

The Island-class patrol boats were constructed in Bollinger Shipyards, Lockport, Louisiana. Cushing has an overall length of {{convert|110|ft|m}}. It had a beam of {{convert|21|ft|m}} and a draft of {{convert|7|ft|m}} at the time of construction. The patrol boat has a displacement of {{convert|154|t|LT ST}} at full load and {{convert|137|t|LT ST}} at half load. It is powered two Paxman Valenta 16 CM diesel engines or two Caterpillar 3516 diesel engines. It has two {{convert|99|kW|PS shp}} 3304T diesel generators made by Caterpillar; these can serve as motor–generators. Its hull is constructed from highly strong steel, and the superstructure and major deck are constructed from aluminium.^[3]^[4]

The Island-class patrol boats have maximum sustained speeds of {{convert|29.5|kn|km/h mph}}. It is fitted with one {{convert|25|mm}} machine gun and two {{convert|7.62|mm}} M60 light machine guns; it may also be fitted with two Browning .50 Caliber Machine Guns. It is fitted with satellite navigation systems, collision avoidance systems, surface radar, and a Loran C system. It has a range of {{convert|3330|mi|nmi km}} and an endurance of five days. Its complement is sixteen (two officers and fourteen crew members). Island-class patrol boats are based on Vosper Thornycroft {{convert|33|m}} patrol boats and have similar dimensions.^[3]^[4]

On September 27, 2018, the Cushing and the USCGC Drummond were formally transferred to Ukraine, after their retirement. The actual transfer will take place in 2019, after some maintenance, and training of their Ukrainian crews.
