Baylander, Military training vessel at West Harlem Piers, United States
The Baylander IX-514 measures 125 feet in length and 36 feet in beam, featuring a helicopter landing deck comparable to larger naval vessels.
Originally designated as YFU-79, this vessel was built in 1968 in Alameda, California, and served during the Vietnam War before becoming a helicopter training platform.
The vessel transformed from a military training facility to a public attraction, now functioning as a restaurant and educational space in New York City.

The vessel achieved a record of 120,000 helicopter landings without accidents during its service as a training platform for multiple military branches.
