The vessel was launched in January 2013 and was named as Cape St George in March 2013.

1-class patrol boat (第一号型哨戒艇,, Dai Ichi Gō-gata Shōkaitei) was a class of patrol boats of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), serving during World War II. Administrative arrangements Of the five Gateway Reviews, four Reviews have assessed that successful delivery of the Program to time, cost, quality standards and benefits realisation appears highly likely. In particular, the Program has undergone five Gateway Reviews as part of the Gateway Review process conducted on large-scale programs by the Department of Finance, two internal audits and six quality system audits. The customs and border protection issued a request for tenders in July 2010.

They were replaced by the new MCDVs. The first vessel was delivered to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in April 2017 and the second vessel was handed over in May 2017.The Cape Class patrol boats are named after capes in Australia, namely Cape St George, Cape Byron, Cape Nelson, Cape Sorell, Cape Jervis, Cape Leveque, Cape Wessel, Cape York, Cape Fourcroy, and Cape Inscription.The Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT) expressed its interest in buying two Cape Class patrol boats, in July 2018.The GORTT signed an A$126m ($85m) contract for the construction of two CCPBs in August 2019. The patrol boats have a maximum speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph), and a maximum range of 1,000 nautical miles (1,900 km; 1,200 mi).

In October 2006, Customs Manifest Newsletter published an article summarising the 10 year service history of the Austal- built Bay Class patrol boat fleet.

PTF-26 is also the last of only four Osprey -Class PTFs, the bigger, aluminum-hulled brother to the Nasty -Class boats. This arrangement under the amended contract ensured that the planned contract milestone payments to the contractor in 2014–15 for the vessels were not brought forward to 2013–14 as a result of the preservation program.Note 5: Under contract amendments (December 2012), additional milestone payments were included that enabled some earlier payments to the contractor than originally scheduled. In addition, the cost of contract change proposals is not included in the payment schedule (see paragraph 3.15 for further examination of contract change proposals).Note 2: Under contract amendments (December 2012), preserved state involved a CCPB reaching a point of completion as if it were ready for launch.

Capability is generated by Fundamental Inputs to Capability comprising organisation, personnel, collective training, major systems, supplies, facilities, support, command and management.Table 2.1: Capability requirements framework timelineIdentified the need to replace the Bay Class patrol boats. Subsequently, the contractor could be required to enter a preserved CCPB into storage, and then ‘regenerated’ in readiness for Customs’ acceptance.Note 3: Under contract amendments (December 2012), the milestone date for the preservation of the third and fourth CCPBs were both 1 July 2014. Cape Class Patrol Boats (CCPBs) were built by Australian ship builder Austal for the Australian Border Force (previously known as Australian Customs and Border Protection Service) to replace the ageing fleet of Bay Class patrol boats. The CCPB's also have enhanced capability to operate in higher sea states and survive in more severe conditions.

Some of the repairs that were required needed to be conducted out-of-water. The SMMC was replaced in 2009 with the Homeland and Border Security Policy Coordination Group and Border Management Group.
