he USCGC SWORDFISH is an 87 foot patrol boat. The cutter officially entered the Coast Guard fleet during a commissioning ceremony held at Coast Guard GROUP/AIRSTA Port Angeles, the ship's home port, on July 22nd 2005. The most unique feature of the cutter's design is the rigid-inflatable boat launch and recover system. This feature significantly improves the safety during launch and recovery.
Cutter SWORDFISH performs a wide variety of missions to include Search and Rescue, Maritime Law Enforcement, and Navy Unit escorts.

Judging by the black smoke streak on the side, the engine/s need a good tune up.

more unique than the launch is it has no steering wheel just a joy stick. We got the first one commissioned at Sandy Hook NJ quite a few years ago. It is also built in Louisiana

Could be, but I have never seen exhaust on the side of a boat.

Doesn't appear to have exhausts at stern.
Usually wet exhausts in marine applications, it would make this a bit cleaner I suspect??
Certainly not a dry stack.
Pic tells story.
