Marinette Marine Corporation's contract with the Naval Sea Systems Command for fifty-two 50-foot workboats was completed one year ahead of contract schedule when the last workboat departed the Wisconsin- based shipyard in December of 1985 for delivery to the West Coast.

The workboats are of steel construction with an overall length of 50 feet, a beam of 14 feet 4 inches, and a full load draft of 3 feet 6 inches.

The twin-screw craft is powered by a pair of 8V-71 GM engines.

Marinette Marine Corporation, now in its 43rd year of operation, is a company of marine design engineers and shipbuilders specializing in the design and construction of defense related marine vessels, and high technology commercial craft.
