A preliminary blueprint of the second-generation special-purpose craft — heavy weather (SPC-HWX II) boat sits on display during a keel laying ceremony, July 8, 2026, in Mount Vernon, Washington. These next generation boats will replace the 52-foot heavy weather boats that were in service from the 1950s until 2021 and are designed to perform a wide range of Coast Guard missions in extreme weather and challenging surf conditions that exceed the capabilities of other boats.
