I think you are talking about Ocean Star and Bugsier - the Atlas responds very quickly and is a great ship to sail.

If your looking for a desktop then you should look at the MSS DEUS PUSHBOAT. It's the same as the herkules atlas only much more detailed. :o

that's not important - it does it's job well  ;D

And the bow isn't exactly designed for speed - like a floating brick  ;D

She is a work boat not meant to go galloping round at 22knts with barges
like tugs they are built with the power for pushing /pulling.
So speed is not a thing that is needed for the jobs they do.
