FDNY fireboat in New London, CT 11/30/19

I posted on an old thread on 10/23/19 that an FDNY fireboat was in dry dock in New London, CT.  It is either the 343 or Firefighter II.  It is still there as of Thanksgiving.  Anyone which boat is missing from NY harbor?  It seems as if it has been in CT for a very long time.

Overall it seems like the new fire boats are out of service a lot more often than the old ones were. I guess it's like the trucks, all the new technology means more downtime.

I can?t confirm visually, but the Marine Traffic website is showing the Firefighter II at Staten Island right now.

I noticed on 12/8 that the boat is back in the water, tied to the pier facing out towards the river.  Looks like it might be ready to leave and head back to NYC.

Boat has been identified on different site as the "343".
