  1. ATON are the unsung heroes of our Coast Guard, especially for boaters. They help keep me out of trouble 👍😎

  2. Australian Shipbuilders and Naval Architects have carved a pretty good niche for themselves with smaller, lighter, specialized vessels. Incat, Incat Crowther, Austal and Birdon all have a presence in the US.
