The work boat is an extremely versatile design, and the backbone of the fleet's logistical support. Capable of serving as both a repair and a resupply vessel, the work boat is also able to land and maneuver on water to conduct marine salvage operations.

The work boat has an internal hold with a rail conveyance system to the main deck hatch, as well as uprights for storage on-deck. There is also a landing area for smaller craft and a large a-frame winch at the stern. Steering is by feathering the two engines rather than using a stern rudder.
