USCGC Richard Snyder (WPC-1127) is the 27th Sentinel-class cutter built for the United States Coast Guard.

Like her sister ships, Richard Snyder is designed to perform search and rescue missions, port security, and the interception of smugglers.

She is designed to support her crew of 24 for missions of up to five days over distances of almost 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km; 3,452 mi).

Richard Snyder was delivered to a Coast Guard base in Key West for her sea trials on February 8, 2018.

[6][7][8] In 2015 the Coast Guard announced that Richard Snyder, who was awarded a Silver Star for attacking Japanese ground forces during an amphibious assault on the island of Biak, would be the namesake of the 27th cutter.
