What is the primary function of the RB-M 45’s bow ramp?

The primary function of the RB-M 45’s bow ramp is to facilitate beach landings and equipment access. The design of the bow ramp allows the vessel to easily land on sandy or rocky shores, where traditional docking may not be possible. This capability is crucial for missions that require rapid deployment of personnel, equipment, or supplies directly onto the beach. The ramp provides a stable and safe way for personnel to board and disembark in various conditions, ensuring efficient and effective operations in environments where access to conventional docks is limited.

Choosing this function emphasizes the RB-M 45's versatility and adaptability in a variety of maritime and rescue scenarios, highlighting its role as a reliable tool for Coast Guard operations.
