The 47-foot Motor Lifeboat is the US Coast Guard's standard self-righting rescue boat, built by Textron Marine and in service since 1997, replacing the 44-foot MLB. It is designed to survive hurricane-force winds and heavy surf while rescuing mariners. International versions have gone to Egypt and Mexico.
