The USCG Shearwater is AeroEngineering’s second boat. In 2017, the U. S. Coast Guard needed a new ship. A multirole ship they could use to help protect the navy, escort damaged vessels home, or intercept pirates/unmarked hostile vessels. As most shipyards were busy at the time, AeroEngineering stepped up to try its hand at boat building. The result s the vessel you see here, the USCG ShearWater. The ShearWater, the first of the USGC ShearWater Class Corvettes, had all the attributes the coast guard wanted. Armed with 2 Machine gun turrets, 4 anti aircraft, and 10 surface to surface missiles, she is suited for navy roles and interception roles. Its most successful campaign has been the sinking of two destroyers and one enemy aircraft carrier without taking any damage. The ships top speed, about 61 mph, makes it suitable for rescue missions. After the success of the testing of this boat, the USCG ordered 40 more to follow suit, and a prototype with a launch able boat. (HINT HINT)
Controls:
Throttle-go forward
Brake-stop
Yaw-turn
Ag1+VTOL-Turret rotation. (pitch controls angle of elevation)
Ag7-shoots all air to ground missiles
Features:
Extreme Detail (DUH)
Good turning
explosives (we all love those ;)
rotating radar

IM glad to release this, I learned a few tricks while making this, and the U. S. Coast Guard symbol on the side is my first attempt at anything like it. I think it came out well. I would like your feedback and please enjoy. Sorry Mobile Users.

is this a type of destroyer?
@AeroEngineering can mod the angled missiles to be pointing up while the stand is upside down
oh, right now im making a commercia; jet
@Redlord ?
@Blazeinfinity feel free to
Also I doubt that one of these could sink 2 destroyers and a carrier :P
Its nat 2017 doh xD
@AeroEngineering you should do another spacecraft like a dropship!
@SpiritusRaptor thanks
@RailfanEthan I know,a lot of people misjudge the coast guard but they are as strong as any other branch.
@Wildblueyonder578 same. itsa fictonal ship designed for intercepting potentially hostile treats
@Wildblueyonder578
The coast gaurd not only is a rescue service, but it acts as a branch of law enforcement on the sea.
I don't recall the coast guard having missiles in their Arsenal,but still looks amazing.
I'll try it tommorow afternoon.
@realluochen9999 @PlanesAndThings Thanks guys!
neat!
@JacobHardy64 @TheMasterSoldier thanks guys
@JacobHardy64 @TheMasterSoldier thanks guys
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!
@AeroEngineering still. Great job :)
@Sutairs well, i didnt b uild the hull, and I had a bit of help
@AeroEngineering give me 3 days and I still wouldn't be able to build anything close to this. This is amazing!
@Sutairs ikr. 3 days worth of work
whoaa
