Unlike most other ships of her class, Sea Fox mounts a gyro-stabilized remote controlled machine gun.

USCGC Sea Fox was the last Marine Protector-class coastal patrol boat to be built.[1] Her first home port was Bangor, Washington where she was part of the Coast Guard Maritime Force Protection Unit there, in company with her sister ship USCGC Sea Devil.[2]

Unlike most cutters in her class she is owned by the United States Navy, although she is staffed by United States Coast Guard personnel.[2] She and three of her sister ships (Sea Devil, Sea Dragon and Sea Dog) were employed to protect the Navy's largest submarines, the nuclear-armed Ohio class, while the submarines were in or near their moorings. These four cutters mounted an additional gyro-stabilized remotely controlled machine gun.[3]

When Sea Dragon and Sea Dog, assigned to Coast Guard Maritime Force Protection Unit Kings Bay, were decommissioned on May 29, 2024, Sea Fox and Sea Devil replaced them.[4]
