Among the drolls taken from Shakespeare were "Bottom the Weaver" (Bottom's scenes from "A Midsummer Night's Dream") and "The Grave-makers" (the gravedigger's scene from "Hamlet").

She had a 19-foot (5.7 m) fiberglass launch for utility or rescue operations. The Coast and Geodetic Survey acquired "Rude" and a sister ship of identical design, USC&GS "Heck" (ASV 91), later NOAAS "Heck" (S 591) to conduct wire-drag survey operations together, replacing the survey ships USC&GS "Hilgard" (ASV 82) and USC&GS "Wainwright" (ASV 83) in that role. Like "Hilgard" and "Wainright" before them, "Rude" and "Heck" worked together under a single command conducting wire drag surveys, clearing large swaths
