That seems an interesting design for a patrol vessel. Has this design been used before?

Andrew,
This design has been used on the ship Brigitte Bardot (IMO 1859712) I think this ship used to be part of the group on the TV show Whale Wars, but I am not positive. But one thing I do know that this design has been used before.
