Can reach up to 50MPH, look awesome also.

They say they might be able to catch pirates faster with these and the Navy will own 55 of them. $460 million a piece.

Still slower than some pirate and about 30 MPH slower than the boats the top drug runners use :-?

I dont know if they meant they could catch them in a high speed boat chase  but if they can catch some of the pirates and drug runners with the other boats this one may be able to catch them faster. Itll be better to actually have this faster ship though. I mean it'll definatly come in handy.

But naval ships has BIG guns  It means they have more time to shoot at them, and it's quicker to get boats in distress 

But that's why we have helicopters to chase pirate boats, and worse case scenario, Super Hornets....

Doesn't surprise me. The Iraqi's had a hard time outrunning our 240B's, M2 .50 Cals, and the 25mm also...

Unfortunately Rom, European nations are not allowed to use that sort of force. It would be to aggressive and infringe the pirates human rights if we opened fire on them. The liberals that would come crawling out of the woodwork would rather have us hug a pirate, he is just misunderstood

Nice looking boat, but hard to target a boat, that goes twice as fast as yours.

As much as I hate pirates and love the Naval Forces...let's try to dodge involving political parties in this discussion  8-) 

Rom, my thanks to your son for doing what he does, I know you did what you had to do, and now he's doing what he has to do    Drives me nuts when I hear what the pirates get away with.  Can't wait until they finally decide to send the Marines after them  8-)  Game over!
