| The Swedish Navy has dozens of a similar boat, some of which they sold to the US Navy and to the Mexican Navy This has the same breathless tone as an Iranian Navy press release... The Russian Navy has sent Raptor high-speed patrol boats to Syria. The Russian rescue ship KIL-168 was spotted on the Bosphorus with Raptor high-speed patrol boats under the tarp. That was reported by alper böler. The Raptor boats are used during troop landing and search and rescue operations, among other tasks. The Raptor (Project 03160) high-speed patrol boats are designed and being built by Open JSC Pella Shipyard based in Leningrad. The Project 16609 tugs are used during raids in coastal areas and during cargo transportation and search and rescue missions. The first tug under this project was deployed with the Russian Navy in 2012. The Project 03160 patrol boat accommodates two crew members and 22 personnel. It has maximum length of 17m, maximum width of 4m, a fixed height of 3.5m, and a depth of 0.9m. It has special cabins to house anti-terrorist groups, divers, lifeguards, inspection and rescue teams. The boat is integrated with modern navigation systems, communications, radar and radios to provide high-navigability. The bridge is equipped with operator workstations and consoles for command and control. |

| #3 Looks a lot like my uncle's old fishing boat. Caught about 50 Pollock off of Rye Beach NH / Isle of Shoals one time; there were so many fish that my father and my uncle had to sacrifice one of the beer barrels to hold all the fish, one w/ Bud & lots of ice, the other with Miller & lots of ice. I left that one alone!. |
