In 1970, the Navy PACVs were transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard for evaluation. Designated Air Cushion Vehicles (ACVs), the Coast Guard were operated until 1975, when they ACV progran was cancelled due to budget constraints. Two were stationed at Fort Point, San Francisco and the third was used for Arctic Trials in Point Barrow, Alaska.
The Coast Guard ACVs were modified by replacing the .50 cal gun mount with an observation dome and the addition of a KAAR LN66 radar and search-and-rescue equipment. Because it was lighter than the military version, the Coast Guard ACV could go up to 70 knots (81 mph; 130 km/h) and had a range of 300 nautical miles (350 mi; 560 km).
Kit decals provide markings for USCG.
