What is the maneuvering speed and endurance of Fast Rescue Boats?

Fast Rescue Boats are built to do two things at once: reach a scene quickly and stay put long enough to complete the rescue. The best choice describes a practical balance—a maneuvering speed that allows a fast approach, paired with endurance that enables several hours of on-scene operation. This combination ensures you can get to those in need and still have enough fuel and time to carry out the rescue tasks without stranded operations. Choices that emphasize very high speed but short endurance would limit how long you can stay and assist, while options with slower speed and brief duration wouldn’t reach or sustain a rescue effectively. The described balance of steady maneuvering speed and extended endurance matches the typical mission profile of fast rescue boats.
