The Navy announced plans to use decommissioned US Island boats in the Mediterranean

The naval forces of Ukraine are "announcing" the commissioning of decommissioned boats of the coastal zone of the Island class. Recall that the other day two boats from the United States by sea were delivered to the port of Odessa.

Now, the port is undergoing an “operation” to launch boats previously owned by the US Coast Guard. Representatives of the mooring team of the Ukrainian Navy take part in the “operation”.

The first boat was launched the P191 Starobelsk. It was reported that the time it was launched from the Ocean Freedom transporter was about 50 minutes. Following the launch of the R190 “Slavyansk” boat.

According to the latest information, boats were sent by tugboats to the Practical Harbor, where they will be prepared for use as part of the Naval Forces of Ukraine.

Of particular interest is the statement made by the representative of the Navy, who announced that the Slavyansk and Starobelsk boats, as well as the 4 boats of the same class that Ukraine expects, will be "used not only in the Black Sea, but also in the Mediterranean." In this regard, the question arises: what are the goals for decommissioned American boats the Ukrainian Navy is going to set in the Mediterranean? This issue is especially relevant in connection with the fact that earlier at the headquarters of the Navy they announced problems in maintaining security in their own territorial waters.

The Ukrainian portal "Duma.net" gives its answer to this question:

It turns out that they are going to support the fleets of NATO countries.

There are only two words ..
Peremoga ..
Zrada.
Underline whatever applicable...

[Alexander Suvorov]

Oooh ... Ukraine has "its interests" in the Mediterranean? Then this is definitely a peremog. I'm afraid only these "boats" to the Mediterranean can be stupidly underwater, seaworthiness may not be enough.

[bessmertniy]

They can go fishing and picnics well. But surfing the Mediterranean Sea with such boats is unclear why. Unless to help Italy intercept refugees from Africa so that they did not reach Europe.

[Thrall]

Hmm, why then unload them from transport? Immediately into the Mediterranean can send better? And flood them near Tartus to Russian evil

[krot]

Sumerians will now conquer the oceans))) Discover new lands!

[hydrox]

You don’t have enough imagination to think "in Skakuas way" ...
Just for the SM this fleet was preparing: to collect refugees in northern Africa and secretly move them to the southern ports of Europe - and the fact that these boats are much more comfortable than refugee "karbs", then we must assume that traveling to Europe "with comfort "will be some VIPs capable of paying for such a" crossing "in many times larger amounts.

Mediterranean Sea with such boats

Yes, understand - SPAN IS NOT THE ONE in the Sea of ​​Azov for whole fleet, again, they’re not allowed under the bridge ...

[Sergey39]

Well, NATO ships can’t do without such support. Swim - not important. Moral support. All that they can.

What’s not around the world right away? Moreover, they have already sailed half the globe in a transporter while they were being transported from the USA!

[novel66]

Around the coast a circumnavigation will not work

[Thrall]

use US-decommissioned Island boats in the Mediterranean

Or maybe we are talking about Middle-earth - a fabulous world where the action of the books of J. R. R. Tolkien takes place and its heroes live?

[novel66]

Well, this is only if the elves overseas .. irrevocably!

[hydrox]

Why did you immediately "talk about the war"?
And wash the floors, catch fish, run for beer, wash socks, other "services" for war-tired soldiers ...

Do not be afraid - before 404, after all, they delivered by cargo, they will deliver to Mediterranean too - just to pay (probably this is the main "strategy", more funds - higher rollback)

YES ! YOU ARE WELCOME ! I want to see it in my lifetime! well please the old man! give battle to the "mosquito fleet" of the Russian Federation! Oh please !

Oooh ... Ukraine has "its interests" in the Mediterranean?

... where where??? for starters, in the Black and Azov Seas, it would be worth putting things in order ... and in the Mediterranean Sea, but on boats ?! What are the goals and objectives of the Naval Forces of Ukraine (especially considering the supposed forces for deployment)? where the gentlemen plan to replenish fuel and food supplies (is it not that Ukraine has MTO bases in the Mediterranean? or with whom did you agree? One answer is NO. to wish and dream are different things. Once again, first, give harmony at your sea borders before dreaming of distant shores

[Livonetc]

The goals are clear.
The watchmen must be returned to Tartus, having committed yet another outstanding criminal naval act.
And all the short life.
No maintenance costs.
There is reason for yelling about the ubiquitous aggressor.
The reason to beg more expensive and abruptly is obvious.
Attackers of the whole world.

[NKT]

Special attention is drawn to the statement of the representative of the Navy, who announced that the boats Slavyansk and Starobelsk, as well as 4 more boats of the same class that Ukraine expects, will be "used not only in the Black Sea, but also in the Mediterranean."

Well now, 404 will form as many as three fleets: Azov, Black Sea, Mediterranean and will almost catch up with Russia.

[bondrostov]

Suppose that immediately in the Atlantic doctrines conduct an atom of the Mediterranean .. not solid

[hydrox]

Come on!
These warlords can be released from the pier only to the length of the mooring dash, otherwise they’ll be drowned or all foreign navies will be scared away - for whom then to run for a beer and tip?

[Alien From]

And where did the non-brothers have so much zeal ?????

[Andrey Chistyakov]

Quote: Alien From

And where did the non-brothers have so much zeal ?????

From powerlessness.

[Prisoner]

How from where? Where did Khlestakov's zeal and "extraordinary lightness of thought" come from? Everything from an empty head.

[Alien From]

The head is full, but with what ??? We all know now ......... what a pity ..........

[Grigory Gromov]

Svidomye jump, drown ...

[bondrostov]

Themselves drown ..

[geologist]

Again, the place for the yacht Shoigu in Kerch will be taken.

[Dmitry Potapov]

There is nothing to be done, great sea power, though there are no ships of its own, well, okay, once in Azov they do not let Salavat even into the Mediterranean (descending ...).

[Prisoner]

And by what means of transport will these odes be transported across the Mediterranean Sea? “Ocean Freedom” didn’t seem to be given?

[bondrostov]

If they give it to him, they’ll immediately call them an underwater rocket carrier

[Andrey Chistyakov]

Well yes. As in the saying ..
"Come into the house, you will be a guest. Set a liter, you will become the owner."

[nnz226]

And these boats written off in the USA will not drown on the transition to the Mediterranean ???

[Alex-a832]

It is unlikely that they will drown, but further than from the line of sight from the shores of the puppy-dead, the path is clearly forbidden to them. I doubt that tight-fisted Americans would capitalize their engines before donating them from the master's shoulder. Svidomo has no repair base for this series, no experience in their service. For the sake of sight, they will roll along the coast, finally stop the equipment and put these "monuments" of ukro-American love to the pier))

[ZVS]

Chuu ... ho_kh_ly affected? From these scows they could only catch a tyulka in the Sea of ​​Azov, and even then no further than 10 miles from the coast!

[Jerk]

Tulka will not be caught up. Only crayfish. Feeding method. Or at all - Poltorak

[hydrox]

Feeding Poltorak?
Good point!

[tihonmarine]

Quote: SU

From these their scows only to catch a tyulka in the Sea of ​​Azov

So the tyulka must also be caught, she herself did not learn to jump aboard.

[cheburator]

Purpose? Pennant demonstration, hohloin didn’t die yet! Fat hohloine, fat! We are Russians, God is with us!

[Journalist]

Well, good luck. In a campaign on these pelvis in the Mediterranean, it’s oh lads!

[askort154]

Well, if they convinced their population that the Black Sea was dug by their ancestors, then it was the turn of the current generation to dig another "Mediterranean Sea" in the steppes of Ukraine. Chernozem will go for sale (the law now permits), and "ships" are already there and are ready to go there.

[Barmaleyka]

to support NATO ships

[tacet]

Harness the lads of cones! Admiral going to the country in Cyprus!

[Dictator]

Yes, it will be a serious projection of power !!!

[tihonmarine]

The support of our NATO allies and the security of this region of Europe is our most important mission.

The idea is excellent, only NATO should keep at least two rescue ships and order in the area of ​​concentration of the Ukrainian battalion: helicopters to rescue Ukrainian ships and crews. In general, as always, "a suitcase without a handle" squeaks a lot, business is not enough.

[EDWARD]

"In this regard, the question arises, what goals is the Ukrainian Navy going to set in the Mediterranean for the decommissioned American boats?"
- maybe as a combat guard of the 6th US fleet ??

[VohaAhov]

How can they support NATO ships in the Mediterranean? They themselves must be kept, so as not to drown :)

[Amateur]

"Apply not only in the Black Sea, but also in the Mediterranean"

To do this, as well as to facilitate the passage of American aircraft carriers to the Crimean Bridge and further into the Sea of ​​Azov, bypassing the "Montreux Treaty," all Svidomo must be sent to dig a canal bypassing the Bosphorus.

[Invoce]

Well, ukropiteks have experience of digging the sea ... there are no people, everyone went to work ... and so - it's easy!

[Polite Moose]

Friends! Remember this historical moment. Before us is the beginning of the revival of the ocean fleet of a great sea power, the ships of which will soon leave their place, dug out by the corpus callosum of the forerunner, the cradle is the Black Sea, in which the nestlings of Petrov (Poroshenko) are already crowded. Skeptics laugh in vain. At such a rate of replenishment of the ukroflot, after some 300-400 years, the gray ocean wave will be cut by the forts of the Navy boats of the very Pacific armada!

[Xenofont]

Sea power is born! And if you cook these tubs on the sides, you get an application for an ocean power.

[Piramidon]

So it is not far from the "round the world". And they can also win back the Northern Sea Route from Russia.

[Nycomed]

"In this regard, the question arises: what are the goals for decommissioned American boats of the Ukrainian Navy going to set in the Mediterranean?"
Yes, really, a question.

[Nycomed]

Got it, they ocean fleet decided to build, but you need to start small!

[Bear040]

Why not in the Indian Ocean ?!

[Revival]

So damn fucked up!
It was necessary to immediately unload them, now again on the barge to lead there

[Sergey-8848]

For the fleets of NATO countries - a direct benefit when these troughs are "floating" side by side, because savings for false target installations are obtained. Why spend money on imitators when quite acceptable targets for anti-ship missiles are hanging nearby, which themselves are happily under attack.

[bratchanin3]

What goals does the Ukrainian Navy plan to set before decommissioned American boats?

What a strange question. Of course, it is obvious that they will intimidate the Russian navy in the Mediterranean Sea and threaten our military bases and constitute the main striking force of the United States in the Mediterranean.

[Invoce]

It was not NATO ships that would support their pants ... and whoever needs such "supporters" will sink and have to save themselves

[Lord of the Sith]

To the middle-earth on these galoshes?
It's funny))

[cat Rusich]

"At whose expense the banquet"? The boats do not have sails, and the internal combustion engine eats fuel and oil. Maybe the "wet wet" will pay for the "holiday of life" themselves ...

[Metallurg_2]

To support what? Pants?

[Artunis]

"The armor is strong and our boats are fast!" - everyone felt scared and uncomfortable in Middle-earth!
