The US Navy Wants To Get Rid Of Its Nearly Brand New Patrol Boats

The Navy is looking to have all of its Mk VI patrol boats, the oldest of which it acquired just six years ago, decommissioned by the end of the year. 

The U.S. Navy is looking to divest its nearly-new Mk VI patrol boats, the oldest of which are just six years old, and has already begun laying the groundwork to do so. 

Barring an order to change course from President Joe Biden's administration or intervention by Congress, the service plans to remove all 12 of these boats, examples of which are based in Guam, as well as in the continental United States, and forward-deployed in the Persian Gulf, from service before the end of the year. 



WNU Editor: The reasons given for the cancellation. Too small and lacking firepower and too expensive to maintain.

They could give them to ANTIFA. ANTIFA has an army, but does not have a Navy, yet.

CIVIL WAR?

The Feds are the only one who fired guns. They shot an unarmed woman at point blank range.

One guy brought guns. He was arrested. That is a one off.

ANITFA staged weapon drops the day before and Democrats are going light on the arrest ANTIFA arrests for some odd reason.
