USCG inland construction tender

An inland construction tender is a type of ship used to build and service shore structures such as piers and buoy trestles. It is also used to maintain buoys and aids to navigation.^[1] Less frequently, they may be used for law enforcement, environmental, icebreaking, and search and rescue operations.^[2]
