The 44-foot motor lifeboat was the standard workhorse of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) rescue boat fleet, designed in 1961 and built between 1963 and 1972. In the United States, the 44′ MLB replaced the 36' MLB (1929–1987) and was replaced in turn by the 47′ MLB starting in 1997; the last 44′ MLB left service in 2009.
