The American large patrol ship WHEC 720 Sherman (such as the Hamilton) will be transferred to Vietnam in the order of military assistance, becoming the second ship of this type in the Vietnamese coast guard, reports bmpd with a link to navaltoday.com.

The ship is scheduled for withdrawal from the US Coast Guard by the end of March this year.

“The Sherman 23 patrol boat on January 2018 returned to Honolulu (Hawaiian Islands) after its last 76-day patrol in the Bering Strait zone. The ship was commissioned in September 1968 of the year (thus its lifespan is almost 50 years), ”says the material.

Ironically, he once "took an active part in the fighting in the Vietnam War, in 1970, engaging in blocking the coast of South Vietnam in order to prevent the transfer of ships to weapons and supplies from North Vietnam, ”notes the resource.

It is reported that in the 10 months of Vietnamese deployment, "Sherman made 154 shelling the coast, and on the night of November 21 1970, the North Vietnamese armed SL-3 trawler loaded with ammunition sank."

WHEC 720 Sherman is one of the United States Hamilton-type 12 large patrol ships from 1967 to 1972.

This is how the "exceptional" buy the location of former enemies.

I would not be surprised if over time one of them ends up in Ukraine. Hohloflottsy will be in ecstasy.

In the place of the Vietnamese, I would have sank exponentially after a symbolic spitting

They are not so rich. So they’ll take it.

Yes, they were offered to take everything for free. It was necessary to pay for the service, delivery and training of the crew. But Petya considered it wrong to pass the money past his Kuzni.

The current Vietnamese are not the same as before, unfortunately. Today's Vietnamese are accustomed to exponential deflections of the back, so that the owner cast a spell ...

God be upon you, that it’s not good for us, on a lot of Vietnamese people I would drown fuck him, sins of a pancake striped type atone.

Yes Amerikos know how - to remind you of days past)

So they will gather a flotilla from their ships and drive to the man-made Chinese island.

[KVU-NSVD]

The Chinese are happy to use them as building materials to expand these islands.

The hulls of these ocean patrols, such as "indestructible" and very navigable (as designed) When the Vietnamese arm them (transmitted without weapons, as usual) can be a serious ship. There is even a stern spot for the Israeli ship-based TRIGON system. The land option with the Israeli Predator Hawk and Extra is already available for the Vietnamese.

[ul_vitalii]

You are well, and the Vietnamese pay.

[Oleg7700]

Allegedly, Americans take $ 16-20 million for pre-sale repairs and training, with training. It’s worth, of course, a lot of money and weapons, if not to drive real poachers, but to deal with “Chinese fishermen”.

For free and bleach - cottage cheese. And self-esteem and respect (not simulated) for its history is an increasingly rare beast in our time.

[Cartalon]

Will you Vietnamese learn to love their homeland?

[PalBor]

No, their problems.

What does it have to do with it? When investments were needed in the country's economy, the US aggressor helped, and not Russia. Now 900 million dollars are Western investments. They removed the imargo on the supply of arms, the trade turnover between the United States and Vietnam is 9 times more than with Russia. the leadership of the country understands that they cannot survive in one hat, and the development path of North Korea does not make them happy. what do you want from them? ordinary people want to eat, want to work. That's merikos and try to help them with this, unlike Russia, where it doesn’t go beyond words about friendship and partnership. Because Vietnam is eager to be friends with them.

[Oleg7700]

About 95 million and add a million per year. Perhaps in the second half of the century the population is stabilizing. A very powerful state in the future, with "wise leadership" and mandatory investment from the outside.

[PalBor]

What was the state of our economy? They themselves almost died. And your words only confirm that for the majority it is tasty to eat and sleep sweet (in every sense) more important than friendship, sincerity, fidelity.

[PalBor]

Remember the state of the Russian economy, you yourself wouldn’t die. But your words only confirm the thesis that for most people it’s more important to eat and sleep sweetly (in every sense) than friendship, loyalty, sincerity, mutual assistance. Alas.

[Nikolay Fedorov]

The Americans would try to give a similar ship to the Cubans, and even the one on which they went into the Bay of Pigs ... But they would not decide on this. Castro would quickly make them a pendell.
And the Vietnamese can give anything, even if underused then barrels of napalm. On the Vietnamese banner is now inscribed: "Tolerance and profit!".

[Topotun]

Well, Vietnam will probably be happy, although in this case it’s worth assessing how much this ship is “killed”. Maybe there already needs to be changed the power plant and cap. repair the entire trough to do. Yes, and on-board electronics has a thread besides a radio station? However, the Vietnamese will not understand. As a last resort use as a target ...

Why then were they delivered 6 submarines? That is morality. They would have just removed the voltage at the Pacific Fleet. So we have everything, If they don’t cut, then they sell
