D class lifeboat

A D class lifeboat is a type of small, fast rescue boat used primarily by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in the UK. Designed for quick response to emergencies near shores, it features a rigid hull and is equipped with powerful engines, allowing it to navigate rough waters and challenging conditions. The D class lifeboat typically carries a crew of three and is capable of saving lives in difficult situations, making it essential for coastal rescue operations where larger vessels may have difficulty accessing. Its agility and speed make it effective for swift rescues in various marine environments.
