A 25m Mk VI Patrol Boat I've been working on. Replacing the Mk V Special Operations Craft from what I understand.



Based on the 20m Coastal Command Patrol Boat (prototype)




And finally, here's my own take on it.



Designed for coastal patrol, escort in littoral waters, support for special operations, or to be launched from a mothership (such as an LPD) to accompany RHIBs in anti-piracy interdiction. Will provide the capability to patrol shallow littoral areas beyond sheltered harbors and bays, and into less sheltered open water out to the Departure Sea Area for force protection, escort, and interception duties.

It loses one rubber boat, but carries a couple of Scaneagle UAVs (catapault and recovery system not visible) capable of 16-24 hour missions depending on payload, a 4 round Spike-NLOS launcher (25km range), and finally a 25mm Typhoon with 2x Spike LR. Sometimes carried are Stinger and and Carl Gustav recoilless rifles. Equipped with Sea Giraffe, nav radar, an EO Suite, and ELINT gear for interception of pirate communication (arr)

Good stuff Reflects.

Hi Refleks,

It does indeed look nice, literally the only thing I'd change is "Harbinger"!"Harbringer" (Me, grammar Nazi? Surely not!) - apart from that (in my limited experience) it looks like a great little boat!

Regards,
Ad
