Fire retardant clothing.

@Reverend Boaz To protect their ships and near-shore installations in littoral areas from small boat attacks. The two attacks that damaged US destroyers in the 90s were both caused by small speedboats loaded with explosives.

[@Brad-gk9jd]

It protects Navy ships in port.

Keep the vids up I love em!

I was with Inshore Boat Unit 24. Ft Dix, NJ when the Navy was using Sea Arks 24' boats. August 2006

[@limpunsing2229]

Effective for countries with problems with poachers, pirates & bandits

[@78.BANDIT]

AWESOME!!!! 👍🇺🇲

[@Military-TV]

Thanks 👍

[@leestewart72]

It's a literal boat.

[@TypeRyRy]

US Navy: How many heavy machine guns can we fit on the boat? Safe Boats: Is that a challenge?

[@ricsonescalicas9657]

I'd like to see this with missiles onboard like in the PH Navy.

[@frankcessna7345]

As you read this, all of the Mark VI have been taken out of service. The US Navy, in their 2022 budget request to Congress eliminated money for the program for new ship building programs in anticipation of near term conflict with China.

[@riff2072]

What kind of waters... literal waters. Ok.

[@peterpatrickgarcia996]

Does Philippine Coastguard need this one for patrolling at West Philippines Sea?

[@robertmuller3145]

çoast guard does the same thing. boats are soon to be transferred to our allies

[@willzulu8844]

If the US wants to get a lot of goodwill with Coastal african and southeast Asian countries, they should try selling a few of these to them to help with Chinese illegal fishing operations within their EEZs.

[@richardwaechter5426]

Good little speedy gun boats

[@michaelperigo6746]

Should the USCG have some of these?

[@ThinBlueLineGuardian]

They have their own patrol boats

[@HanzShaoPing]

The U.S. Navy found the ships too unreliable and expensive to maintain so they decided to sell them to Ukraine to help them out.

[@odanewilson]

I need 3 of those to buy ok

[@stupitdog9686]

The idea is cool .... justr cut the price by ...say ... 85% ....

[@Patriot3791]

I wonder if Ukraine ended up getting them

[@Agent77X]

To bad these boats do not patrol the U.S. waters but only foreign territories!😮

[@enginepy]

It’s almost as if everyone knew what was going to happen in Ukraine this year…

[@makegaminggreatagain3907]

I'd prefer a PT boat from WW 2 over this turd of a boat, come to think of it, I'd also prefer Sweden's R-142 Missiles boat or T-56 Torpedo, or Israel's Sa'ar variants.

[@skip123davis]

seriously?? only we in the usa would buy a $15M patrol boat that is unreliable, high maintenance, etc, etc. you can't hit anything with a 50 cal from a boat that small anyway - i'm former usaf, and i know coasties that were deployed to cuba that told me that! who's uncle got paid off for this ripoff?

[@Coinz8]

an airman talking about boats....LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jasonsantos6430]

Naval Remote Control Weapon Systems like the Israeli Typhoon mount for .50 HMGs and 25mm autocannons perform pretty well even at high speed. Most modern RCWS mounts are accurate enough for most operations. The issue is if they install a manual machine gun or autocannon.

[@memyselfandi8544]

@@jasonsantos6430$15 million is ridiculous. $5 mil would be reasonable for a 80’ aluminum power boat armed with a with 1 crows station and navionics. The Maxpro 30,000lb aluminum mrap with crows less than a $1mill.

[@zachdavis1282]

Wonder who Ukraine will sell them to.

[@thomasdragosr.841]

...Russia.

[@sucmydikbith2700]

Wtf

[@jeffreyprezalar220]

They already got rid of these,going to Ukraine.

[@gspotmop8242]

I think it might have a lot to do with democrat military budget cuts 🤣

[@thetruth1.613]

Lots of repeated big words, I lost interest 90 seconds in.

[@jerrytobin88]

Absolute crap. Too expensive for us so we will buy them for Ukraine what the hell. I wish Russia would turn Ukraine to glass.

[@BaronEvola123]

You can just take a Himars system, who's missiles weren't designed for salt water and slap them on some littoral, brown water combat ship.
