Portuguese term or phrase: embarcação orgânica
Definition:

"Embarcação orgânica: é a embarcação pertencente à dotação do navio que pode ser empregada em fainas de salvatagem (certificada para tal) ou em fainas diversas."

I understand the concept but cannot find the equivalent in the context of the navy.

Lifeboat is one of the most important life-saving equipments onboard a ship, which is used at the time of extreme emergencies for abandoning a ship. Lifeboat is a smaller rigid vessel, secured onboard into davits so that it can be launched over the side of the ship with least time and mechanical assistance possible for an early escape of the crew from the ship.
