I just moved to the Mississippi coast and am learning to monitor the Coast Guard I have a pretty good handle on the aircraft but no idea on the vessels.
For instance, today I am monitoring Coast Guard 2305 (Casa HC-144 aircraft) assisting with a disabled fishing boat in the gulf. they are talking with Coast Guard 45683 which I am guessing is some sort of vessel? Comms are on CG-111 (162.325 P25)
Thanks,

CG-45683 = a 45' CG Vessel
first two numbers indicate the length

Thanks guys for the excellent info.
It would appear that she is a Response Boat Medium. I dont see this particular number on the Wiki, so perhaps she is fairly new.

Response Boat Medium's have been around for quite a while. They shift them around, so maybe it just never was added.

USCG hull numbers work like this:
For vessels up to 99 feet long, the first two digits are the length. 45683 is a 45' RBM. 87301 is an 87' coastal patrol boat.

Above 99', it's just the hull number sequence.

Back when I was in, only vessels 65' or longer were given names.

YMMV as to accuracy as this boat has not been logged by AIS since Position Received: 2020-05-14 00:45 UTC

USCG and US Navy will limit the public AIS usage
