DefenseWeb reports that Cameroon is receiving these Landing Craft to help protect their offshore resources.
Interesting.
It appears that the influence of the Royal Marines is being seen here. They are unique in using Landing Craft as patrol boats as well as raiding craft. More info on the Cameroon purchase here.
I guess it's a smart idea to using Landing Craft as general patrol boats. Not sure how much performance you'd lose but you're definitely saving budget wise.
