What is the maximum engine RPM for the vessel?

The maximum engine RPM for the Fast Response Cutter (FRC) is 2200 RPMs. This specification is critical because it defines the operational limits of the vessel's engines, ensuring optimal performance and safety during various maritime missions.

Operating within this RPM limit allows the crew to maximize propulsion efficiency while maintaining engine reliability and longevity. Exceeding the maximum RPM can lead to increased wear and tear on the engine components and potential damage, which could compromise the vessel's operational readiness.

Understanding the engine's RPM limits is essential for any Deck Watch Officer, as it plays a significant role in navigation, maneuvering, and response capabilities during missions. This knowledge enables effective decision-making when it comes to managing the vessel in various scenarios, including emergency responses and routine operations.
