Allegiance

Summary
The Allegiance class is a series of coast guard cutters with a rather unique hull design. The long and straight bow, dubbed "bearded axe bow" by its designer, is a clever example of naval engineering to prevent the boat from capsizing. When a wave hits the flank, its impact is spread between the small area above the surface and the much bigger surface under. As a result, the hull rights itself instead of rolling dangerously. The Allegiance cutter is thus perfectly capable to operate in rough seas, for long periods and in all weathers. However, the tiny hull of this unassuming boat, once crammed with supplies for long patrol mission, only allows for very little living space, much to the chagrin of the bedraggled crew.
