In this photo released by the Coast Guard, Lt. Matthew Hobbie, Commanding Officer of Station Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco, Wash., signs for the delivery of the station's new Response Boat - Medium (RB-M) CG-45602, on August 7, 2008.
The RB-M will replace the aging 41-foot response boats, which have been the workhorse of Coast Guard boat stations for more than a quarter of a century. Station Cape Disappointment's boat is the second of approximately 180 boats, half of which will be built in Kent, Wash., by Marinette Marine Corporation's major subcontractor, Kvichak Marine Industries of Seattle.
