Does anyone here know where the decommissioned 123' Islander patrol boats of the USCGC, that were decommissioned due to major structural issues, are at present?

***PREPARED FOR DELIVERY*** STATEMENT BY ADM. THAD ALLEN on the converted 123-foot patrol boats and changes to the Deepwater acquisition program

< Edited >

A significant step in changing the course of Deepwater is resolving outstanding issues within the program, so let me begin this morning by announcing my decision to permanently decommission the eight 123' patrol boats converted under the Deepwater program.

Multiple extensive studies and analyses by both Coast Guard engineers and third-party naval architects and marine engineers over many months have described the failures in these vessels. They have been unable to determine a single definitive root cause for the 123-foot patrol boat structural problems.

A tip from another forum led me to the Coast Guard Yard in Curtiss Bay, MD.

Looks like they are all there.
