I was boat commander in the Swedish Special Marines as we call "Coastal Rangers" and 1984 we already tested different Protetypes with Water jets engines and special hulls that finally became Stridsbåt 90 ( Combat Boat 90 ) 90 = Year 1990. It was originally made for our Coastel Rangers when they attack islands in full speed entering the shores. The waterjet engines are made so we reverse the jet and the Boats stops in 5 meters getting only the nose on the shore so the hull is intact and the Badasses rush out and do their job. More info I cannot reveal what we do, hehe. But you can imagine with full equipped with Robot system from Bofors plus 40 mm Canon etc, Machine Guns etc what a fight we can give the enemy in our own backyard.

Great boats the marine jet engine was invented and developed in New Zealand and is still used extensively today in the fast flowing and sometimes shallow rivers especially in the South Island. They can stop in their own length, can navigate very shallow water and often transverse pebble/sandy/gravel sandbanks completely out of the water at speed

Others sometimes have difficulty telling us apart. As a Swede I'm just happy that it wasn't about the Swiss navy. Technically though it's not wrong that they are "Swedish [designed] boats" regardless of country. E.g. they could have done it in Brazil if they wanted to go for the "riverine" part. Riverine is however semantically incorrect (I think?) as it's not actually designed for rivers.
As an Alaskan fishing guide who's spent the past 28 years sledding up and down many of AK's most challenging rivers, I'm jealous, envious and completely approve of these beautiful tools of the trade.

USMC was first made aware of the Stridsbat 90 back in 1992 with visit of the then CMC General Carl Mundy, who actually took the helm of one the craft in the Stockholm archipelago. General Mundy was the guest of Royal Coast Artillery Brigadier Per Lundbeck. General Mundy also witnessed activities of the Swedish Coastal Rangers and Combat Divers in the cold winter waters during his official visit to Sweden, the first time for a Marine Commandant.

Our army still keeps the old mindset that we should make any enemy realize that they'd rather wade through hell it self and then swim over an ocean rather than invade. Only thing we need now is the numbers to back that up. NATO has been the solution to that. As a Swede, I'm immensly thankful that NATO still exists and that we have been allowed to sign the treaty. All I hope for now for our economy and for the fighting capability of NATO is that our stuff sells. It's good shit and most of it is probably avalible (To our allies. :P). We're the best armsdealers in the world, after all.

But now Sweden just recently started mounting M134D miniguns on CB90, so that will probably get the job done. The ship can also use 40mm automatic grenade launcher, sea mines and depth charges.

The US Navy used these boats as part of the Riverine Forces under the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command but once their mission sets ended with the end of the war in Iraq, they became obsolete and have been decommissioned. It was one of these that was captured off of Farsi Island in 2016.

From having done a lot of scuba diving in scandinavia with dry suits I can say that it depends a lot on what you wear underneath the dry suit. If you wear nothing but your underwear then you are gonna be really quite cold. The dry suit itself doesn't really insulate that much. When we dive with a dry suit in really cold water we would wear a big puffy warm overall under the suit

Is it a real brown water boat or a costal boat doing double duty? What is the draft? It’s a cool, boat and I respect the Swed’s they have been operating boats like this for all of recorded history .
@Mornomgir
11 ай бұрын
The Stridsbåt 90 have a draft of around 0.8 metres. Which i reckon is 30 something inches. The boats are designed for operations in archiepelago environments so it performs both brown water and coastal duties. Its initial primary design had a very heavy emphasize on recon and deployement of specialist troops. Now we use it for everything. Hauling cargo, bigger deployements, island assault and so on. The latest iterations of it comes with heavier support weaponry as well as being faster and more silent built on a sturdier hulll, not sure what the draft is on the latest version since some of the weapon platforms that are being tested are certainly heavier than a .50 and the 7.62mm thats usually mounted.

Speed was slightly different depending on if it was running with the full (half) platoon or not, or running empty or full with 1 m2 of diesel. The first prototype 801 did 50 knots I recall, but she was also pretty stripped of all real combat gear. Prototype 802 was slightly slower as it had a decompression tank for attack divers and some other prototype navigational gear. All production boats with the final Rolls-Royce Water jets and double Scania 16W diesels did somewhere around 40, some boats pushed to 45 knots, but we could never really tell why there was a difference with the same payload. Fun to drive, but thirsty.
As a former swedish marine, we were tought that H stands for Helge (swedish for the letter H).
Oohh that is hard.I have never gone diving from a boat like that.
The s-boats cammo is awesome!!!

Adding to the operational efficiency is the fact that the conscripts driving these boats are most often already sto start with used to driving fast boats, and doing the occasional landing on the rock "beaches" of Sweden. They also aquire a keen knowlidge of some part of the archipellago (thousands of islands), and probably they already knew some. (Like you know what straits are possible to navigate, depending on water level at a certain point in time.) Water is kind of second element to Swedes - since even long before the Vikings!

They are amazing. I thought the US version was quite daring with all the open standing guns on it though. The inside has crash seats with over the shoulders straps for the crew because the damn boat can literally turn on a dime and accelerate to max speed in like 5 seconds. We happen to see these things stuck on rocky islands sometimes in Scandinavia when they practice with them because the drivers get a bit too eager XD NOt much worry though the hull is so strong its good to go again after being pulled back in.
The United States Navy had some built in the USA for use in Iraq. They even experimented with deploying them from amphibious assault ships.

Must be an old video, because I thought we were getting rid of the MK VI boats... Despite initial plans to acquire 48 Mark VI boats, only 12 were ordered in 2015 and delivered by 2017 with none purchased afterwards. In early 2021, the U.S. Navy signaled its intention to divest them by the end of the year. The decision was made as a cost saving measure, as the boats were not extensively used, suffered from reliability problems, and were considered too expensive to maintain. The Navy however briefly rescinded the plan in May 2021 pending final Fiscal Year 2022 budget decisions before ultimately continuing with devestiture. As of 2022, the 12 MK VI hulls remain in long term layup and storage and all MK VI program manpower, training, unique systems, and all support has been divested.

Sweden's Stridsbåt 90 will be equipped with the Dillion M134 Minigun in the near future.
Sweden is going to arm her Stridsbåt 90 with the M134D Dillon Aero Gatling Gun System. The Stridsbåt 90 was developed for littoral warfare and was supposed to be armed with automatic cannons from retired fighter jets, the 30 mm ADEN cannon. _The Royal Small Arms Factory ADEN cannon (ADEN being an acronym for "Armament Development, Enfield") is a 30 mm revolver cannon used on many military aircraft, particularly those of the British Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. Developed post-World War II primarily to meet British Air Ministry's requirement for increased lethality in aircraft armament, the cannon was fired electrically and is fully automatic once it is loaded._
