"Roads in Service": the US Navy gets rid of the proposed Ukraine Mk VI patrol boats

The US Navy intends to completely get rid of the Mk VI patrol boats, despite their short service life. According to The Drive, all 12 in service fleet boats will be decommissioned by the end of this year.

According to the newspaper, the Navy plans to get rid of the boats by September 30 or by the end of the year with the start of withdrawal in March. The reason for the "retirement" of the Mk VI patrol boats, the oldest of which is only six years old, is called their inadequacy to modern tasks, as well as expensive maintenance.



In scenarios of modern wars against equal countries such as China or Russia, Mk VIs were considered not very useful. These boats are very expensive to maintain.

- said Major General of the Marine Corps Tracy King.

It is noted that despite the plans of the US Navy to purchase a total of 48 Mk VIs, the fleet purchased only 12 patrol boats at an average price of $ 7 to 8 million each.

However, the American boat building company SAFE Boats International will not stop producing these boats. The thing is that the Mk VI patrol boats will go into service with the Ukrainian Navy. On December 31, 2020, the US Department of Defense issued the first contract to prepare for the start of construction of the first two Mk VI boats for subsequent delivery to Ukraine under the American Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program of intergovernmental foreign military sales.

In total, the Pentagon plans to sell 16 Mk VI boats to Ukraine, totaling $ 600 million, including crew training and technical support. The first six US boats will be handed over to the Ukrainian Navy as assistance, the remaining ten will be bought by Kiev at its own expense. At the same time, it is specified that the delivery of the first two boats will be financed within the framework of the military aid allocated to Ukraine.

In addition to 16 boats, the United States will supply them with weapons: 32 MSI Seahawk A2 remote-controlled artillery mounts (two per boat) with 30-mm Mk 44 Bushmaster II automatic cannons and other equipment.

The total displacement of the boat is 72 tons, length 25,8 m, width 6,2 m and draft 1,2 m. Max. speed - 45 knots. The cruising range is 690 miles at a speed of 30 knots. The crew of the boat is 10-11 people + a possible landing of 7-8 people.

In the standard version, the boat is armed with two 25-mm automatic remote-controlled Mk 38 Mod 2 mounts and six 12,7-mm M2 machine guns on turret mounts.

            After all, it will be possible to stop it only by shooting to kill.

            And this is just that hoh.lyache shit about which I wrote above.
            Remember the stench that spread around the world when you were catching the old hoh. Baby troughs near the bridge.

            There is a huge number of our civil ships in the Azov and Black Seas.
            Hoh .ly will be able to create a problem with the help of these boats.

            We have a big problem - the engine building is disgusting.

            So, you shouldn't throw your hats.

            The boats are new, fast, well armed for their displacement.

            And get them crazy Russophobes.

              After attempting such a breakthrough, all boats and everything that will be nearby can be destroyed right at the basing points. For Georgians, the fleet was reset, and the same can be done with these.

          In terms of dimensions, it resembles a minoski of the times of 1904, and in terms of maximum speed, relatively, too. And the task of the minionocks is to bite and escape ... But now is a different time ... the shells are definitely placed, and not 5% of the covers ...

          As I understand it, these are indicators on a measured mile in ideal conditions. Or, simply calculated. What is most likely.

        We do not have boats with such speed.

        As a person who has studied the theory of the ship, I will say that if this boat goes at a speed of 45 knots, then it is planing.
        1. Gliding in waves will not work (except for hydrofoils - but there are none), their speed will drop to a maximum of 15 knots.
        2. Aiming on a glider is another task.
        3. A shot from any weapon with a significant recoil will knock down from the glider.

Then there are amerovskie representatives offering related equipment / upgrades / repairs and can not do it on the side, the uncle does not order. Senior "partners", God forgive me, they have been bred for a quarter of a century, and they are all like flies on ... honey.

        The most interesting thing is that 30 years ago, Ukraine received from the USSR all the necessary technological and production base in order to cover all the needs of its fleet on its own, and now it receives rubber products and boats (second-hand and "we ourselves don't need ") as something fantastic and rejoice at it. Iran, being in the conditions of sanctions and embargo, independently resolves these issues, supplying IRGC with boats not in dozens, but in hundreds. The last replenishment was 340 boats.

      I will not say anything about the effectiveness of these boats to defend and attack in the coastal zone, but Ukraine needs to calm down with wet dreams of conquering the World Ocean and focus only on its piece of the Black Sea - for this, the independent budget will pull from 10 boats of this type, but that's all the rest will need to be sold and no longer built! In Nikolaev, to create a museum of the grandiose success of Independence - against the background of sold-out shipyards, a rusty missile cruiser "Ukraine", next to the smaller "Sagaidachny" and a submarine "Zaporozhye" welded to it, then a boat that Petya releases on his Forge and a rubber boat with patches from Americans - so that the soul of every young fellow at the sight of this spectacle overwhelms his soul with pride and greatness of the achievements of Ridney Nenka! laughing

    Moreover, this option, about the economy, is more reasonable given the gloomy Ukrainian prospects. The lads who have access to this property will not click their beak.
    American boats and European lace panties are not suitable for survival, you can't eat them, and you can't keep warm in panties in the cold.
