Another Shallow Draft Coast Guard Boat?

When I first saw this article over on the Marine Corps website, all I could think is why?  What they have appears to be sufficient...but I guess that same thought can be applied throughout the DoD so I'll reserve judgment.  Read the article here.  But below are the specs on the 24 foot version of the boat, the larger size is extremely similar (to be honest it almost exactly the same..just bigger) and more info on it can be found here.

  1. More durable than a RHIB as it's aluminum. Don't know for what role it is considered. Could be for Marine Security force, (foreign) harbor patrol perhaps.
