LA Class boat. Highly maneuverable and not as big as the Sturgeon class that proceeded it.
I beg to differ. Sturgeon boats were much smaller than 688’s. I used to repair both classes.
LA class are 60ft longer, a foot wider at the beam and displace more than 200 more tons of seawater than the Sturgeon class (a bit less for stretch hulls).
You’re kidding, right? I did tours on both 637’s and 688’s. 688’s are about 70 feet longer and draft at least another 4-5 feet. I won’t get into how my first boat hit the pier in Bangor.
