Synopsis

Marine Group Boat Works in California is involved in building 3 vessels, 110 x 35 ft, powered by 3512' cats, these vessels will be capable of a 21 kt knot cruise speed, and have a very specific mission that requires excellent zero speed stability. The vessels are called RTSC; Range training and Support Craft, their primary mission is to support the U.S. Submarine fleet by retrieving test torpedoes shot by US submarines on one of the many training ranges. Recovering these weapons in rough weather can be very tricky thus the need for SEA KEEPER stabilization.
