A retired 93-foot Air Force water-survival training boat, with extra steel structure added to the deck for habitat.

USAF Big Dawg (PL-94-9301)

The Big Dawg supported the Air Force Parachute Water Survival School at NAS Pensacola. Students disembarked from the stern for one-person life raft training and were dropped and dragged from the stern during parasail training — the “PL” in her hull number stands for “parasail launch.”

She's a 93' × 32', 158-ton steel vessel, with additional steel structure secured to the deck to enhance habitat. She was sunk on May 7, 2021 in 104 feet of water.
