    @BRAVOZULU DWEST boathouse Not sure what your going on about. If its the even that happened a few years back where a US ship VIOLATED Iranian waters and the crew was DETAINED for it. I don't see how that has anything what so ever to do with Obama. Like I said the US ship violated Iranian water, the US vessel was stopped and detained by the Iranian Navy. ONCE both sides concluded it was a simple navigation mistake and there was no malicious intent on either side the America crew and vessel were released. They didn't "surrender" And Obama had absolutely NOTHING to do with the situation. Are you seriously so cognitively deficient you think a Cpt. of a PT boat just has the commander in chiefs personal phone number and just calls him up saying "Hey theres some Iranians following us....what do?" Obama did NOT give them their orders. Its standard practice to just comply and try to deescalate the situation instead of being a dumb fucking arrogant american and potentially causing an International Crisis. And make no mistake of it I'am by NO stretch of the imagination a supporter of Obama or the Democratic party but Idiots like you just make anyone who doesn't like Obama sound/look like a dumb fucking inbreed trailer trash hick.

A Brown Water, Small Craft career would have been very appealing.

They'd also have to be adjustable and controlled for various conditions and maybe even extreme temperatures. A simple electric motor or more likely servo drive is much simpler and easier to maintain. And gas driven would require a bit of time before the full rate of fire due to barrel rotation speed was established.

    You have my most sincere respect for doing a tough job in hard circumstances. I thought the B-40 was a copy of the RPG-2 though? Nevertheless, you've made a good observation there, and to make it worse, it seems that the powerplant is right beneath the forward Deck House, so any hit in that area could leave the boat sitting dead in the water either way. It looks like the designers may have made the mistake of clustering too many vital systems and personnel in the same space, but hopefully that's also where they put the armor protection.

    It's good to see we have a modern version of the PT boat. I especially like that little ditch in the side for people to get on/off the boat. That looks extremely convenient and versatile. That thing looks really fun. I want to go out on patrol in one of those, maybe shoot at some targets, fend off the aliens, you know the usual.

    These boats will be instrumental and very much in demand for escort duties whenever a Navy ship enters or leaves possibly hazardous ports, whenever an aircraft carrier battle group transits the Strait of Hormuz, Strait of Gibraltar and other choke points. It could also assist in anti-piracy missions. The Navy could incorporate a "mother" ship in the form of an amphibious assault ship for groups of several Mark VI patrol boats operating in a particular area. The Iranian Navy would be extremely foolish to try to interfere with the operations of these Mark VI boats, especially now that a totally new hardline doctrine has been established. What this boat needs is a small hand-held missile system, which I believe it probably already has.

    I think these ships may be meant for shallower waters. An Amphibious Assault Ship would have a much larger draft than 4 feet. This ship appears to be a Littoral Combat Ship. Those are meant for shallow water patrol. However, I could see how loading a few of these ships with Marines could make for a very threatening boarding force.

    Those are not the purposes of these very small boats. I spent over 24 years in the Navy, so I have sound knowledge of naval operations. After 9/11, the U.S. Navy really upped its defensive posture, especially when it's ships enter or leave port, or are moored or anchored in port. And that is precisely what these very small boats are going to be used for. The U.S. Navy already has similar small boats, and these new boats will be their modern, improved replacements.

    Makes sense. But it would really suck to have to go in deep waters with a 4-foot draft, and then have a storm crop up. Take it from me, a 6-foot draft can be bad enough. I only wonder how they'll transport these. With that draft, trans-oceanic voyages would be extremely dangerous, plus the apparent lack of racks, and the relatively short range. I know the Navy has supply ships, but I don't think that's quite what they're designed for. Thoughts on that? (By the way, what was your rank/rate?)

    Guys, I'm not trying to put down the system nor the Navy (well, at least not TOO much on the later), it is an outstanding boat. However, there are similarity between the Boat and our equipment in the Cavalry (CAV). This idea is range and protection of the crew. With the old ACAV (a M-113 derivative) there were three gunners; two with 7.62 and on the commander manning the 50 cal. Arcs of fire had to be established not only from the vehicle, but also with supporting "Tracks". Jumping ahead a few years to the M-1 Abrams, we find a similar system this time with what the Navy would consider a 4 inch gun (Closer to a 5 inch) plus three MGs (two 7.62s and one 50 cal). Yet despite the outstanding firepower, the Abrams alone is still vulnerable. Tactics have been developed that involve a page out of the Air Force's manual: Our Tankers use the Wingman Concept. Moving on to a provable engagement scenario in the Persian Gulf, the Crew of this Boat will not just be facing one or two armed speedboats, but dozens. Each putting out as much lead as possible to suppress the crew of the Mark VI, therefore crew protection is important for the guys manning the boat to survive and accomplish their mission. Finally, lets put my sentiments in the proper perspective: GO ARMY....SAVE THE SQUIDS! ; )

    They can mount MK50s(?)(the ones our Helos carry for ASW) using a special mount. They can also mount Hellfire missiles, Griffin Missiles, Penguin Missiles, and Stinger Missiles...all from a variety of mounts the Navy has been playing with. I liked the BAE proposed mount which incorporated a MK38 25mm Gun Mount (the 25mm cannon shown on the boats in the video) featuring dual feeds (to select from two different ammo types) with two Quad Missile Launchers on either side of the cannon, allowing you to carry either two different missiles (with 4 rounds each) or 8 missiles of one type.
