B-Class (Atlantic 75) lifeboats serve the shores of the UK as a part of the RNLI inshore fleet.

The Atlantic 75 is the second generation Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) in the B-Class series, developed from the Atlantic 21. These boats gradually replaced the Atlantic 21 fleet but have now been superseded by the new Atlantic 85 lifeboat.
