Overview: Skiffs will continue to be used throughout the Coast Guard for various support
and specialized unit response missions. Although the response mission for flood relief punts
and ice rescue skiffs are significantly different, they are similar in capability and support
funding need. These hulls will be redesignated SKF allowances. Due to similar funding
requirements and the possibility that unit work punts (WPs) may be used for immediate
vicinity SAR response, they will be included in the new SKF classification.
Phase 1 (Current Force to Interim Force):
All flood relief punts and ice rescue skiff boat allowances will be converted to SKF
allowances.
All WP boat allowances will also be converted to SKF allowances.
The funding level for SKF allowances will be matched at the previous FR level. Funding
level adjustments will take effect in the FY02 Operations Budget Model.
Phase 2 (Interim Force to Future Force):
SKFs are expected to remain non-standard shore-based response boats, and allowances
will be managed according to current policy.
