I think it might have been named "Liberty." It was 110' and it had huge fantail but no helicopters. I've got the radio logs but not at hand. No big deal. I just thought you might know.

The Liberty sounds right; I think she was one of the first ones built. 110' Vosper Thornycraft design built in Louisiana, Paxman diesels. Intended to be a cheap temporary transition patrol boat until a more permanent craft was built. I believe they were originally intended to be in service 10 years...that was back in the mid 80's and they will probably be around another twenty years. Yes, no helo.

Not a bad boat but not a great one...excellent crews make them better than they really are.
