Default US Coast Guard...something different

Did budget cuts force the CG to downsize?



Never seen one of these before:



Looks like a crowd gathers to watch the CG launch in Lake Tahoe:

They're probably spending all their money on the Stiletto, but just wait until these guys are cruising around the ports!!

Now, I am usually cool with the new boat designs. However, that stilleto is the ugliest thing I have ever seen grace the water.

Cheers,
Will

Figures.....with that signiture photo you have.

Sometimes, pure functionality is the most beautiful thing of all.
That's why I made a German Beer Girl my wife. She can carry 10 full steins and will make your forearms look like a fishing rod!

It is ugly, but with all those angles yopu have to wonder how well a radar system will pick it up.

Radar reflector recommended. Doesn't look life a rescue boat.

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. I believe it's every bit as beautiful and exotic as our USAF B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber.

Nice 33, but doesn't she looks a little heavy in the can in that photo?

more Stiletto Soft ride with cushion of air...
"...... this cushion could be a back-saving benefit for those using Stiletto for transport. The vertical impact to the neck and the spine from riding on a traditional small transport craft have been likened to a "10-G shock," or the body suddenly weighing 10 times its own weight, at least twice an hour, he said. If a seat fails, that shock can spike to 20 Gs.

"At any given time, ... 30 percent of (small boat-operating teams) are 'medically down' because of injuries sustained while driving their boats," Glaros said. After about 10 years, most small-boat drivers are eligible for 100 percent disability by Department of Veterans Affairs standards ...."
Quoted from Defense Link

On my way to VA in the morning to claim my 100% disability from being a small boat driver for over 10 years.
