The ''Bravest'' is a fireboat operated by the Fire Department of New York City.〔 She was commissioned on May 27, 2011.〔 The FDNY currently has three large fireboats, including the ''Bravest'', supplemented by approximately a dozen smaller high speed patrol craft.〔 The two largest fireboats, ''Firefighter II'' and ''Three Forty Three'' are among the largest and most powerful fireboats in the world. At 20 knots they are relatively fast. But ''Bravest'', at 65 feet, is comparable in size and power with many city's largest fireboats, yet it has the high speed and shallow draft of a modern high speed patrol craft. ''Bravest''s shallow draft of just 1 metre means she can fight fires in the shallow waters off New York City's airports.〔〔 Her nameplate was carved from a plate of steel recovered from the World Trade Center.〔 thumb ==See also== * Fireboats of New York City 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bravest (fireboat)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
