Just was testing the link to make sure it worked I just added comments.

Looks alot like they are going to be needing them, a new coast gaurd is always good.

They might want to try the water cannons, might help with interdictions.

The "flashing blue light" icon was selected, an ATS assurance of quality and relevance. The title is defaulted in bold type, yet another "weighty" consideration.

Post Assessment Monkeys, not just for anymore…

I think the Super Dvora MK III fast patrol boat will be a good littoral patrol vessel and it also has very good interdiction abilites with a speed of 45 knots. Its also suppose to be armed with advanced precision weapon systems, in fact its name is the "Littoral Warrior".

Seems good enough for what they need, suprised there isnt much of an attempt to make the vessel stealthier tho. It would also have trouble in the higher sea states.

Hmmm, looks like China will be getting some fast new modern patrol boats sometime soon then.
