Project history

Former USCG/USN 83ft-type patrol launches, transferred to Cuba by lend-lease 8 launches from USCG and 4 from US Navy. 10 boats were transferred at Havana 22.3.1943, two more 24.3.1943. Data about full correlation of American numbers with Cuban are not present, since in Cuban Navy they were renamed depending on tactical assuming, but former USN boats received numbers CS31-34.

Modernizations

None.

Right after war all boats were transferred to Coast Guard, according to abbreviation replacement on GC.
