[b]RS Beeston Castle (1942)[/b]
Originally laid down as a torpedo boat in the early years of World War II, the [i]RS Beeston Castle[/i] has since been stripped of her armament and reimagined as a high-speed rescue craft. Her low silhouette—rising less than three meters above the water—makes her fast, stable, and discreet in rough seas.
