Project history: Developed as a PTF successor, the Coastal Patrol and Interdiction Craft was built by Tacoma Boatbuilding in 1974 and turned over to the South Korean Navy. She was returned to the United States in 1980 for research. As in the PTFs, there are major weapon positions fore and aft of the bridge structure, as well as pintles for machine-guns along the sides, and guns, missiles, and torpedo tubes can be accommodated. As completed, the CPIC prototype was armed with an Emerson Electric twin 30mm cannon forward.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: No significant events.
