87-Foot Coastal Patrol Boat, based on the US Coast Guard Marine Protector Class. Tried to keep the handling realistic. It moves like a heavy ship, it's not covered in stability fins and it won't do 90 knots - it has thrusters for port maneuvering but you have to actually pilot the thing.
It's more-or-less to-scale, with a functional interior and ability to run rescue and fire missions. It was mostly an exercise in finally learning to put together more advanced microcontrollers that I can re-use in later builds, but I got a pretty decent ship out of it.
Has the range to get to the arctic doing its 31-knot flank speed, but you're gonna want to fuel up once you get there. You could probably extend the range by dialing back the throttle a bit. I didn't forget to add heat and cold-weather gear so you won't start freezing to death half-way there like an earlier version.
Big props to 454ss on YouTube for microcontroller tutorials, they were extremely helpful in getting my own microcontrollers put together without cutting/pasting from others.
Still used some workshop stuff for radar/sonar, those were outside the scope of what I was trying to learn with this build and I wanted to get it functional for other players. I tried not to go crazy with them (I have my own heading hold and fin/counterweight stability systems instead of plugging in some crazy advanced Lua system I wouldn't even know how to begin).
