Re: Swedish CB-90 Combat Boat aka USN RCB

Here are some photos just put up on Navy News of the Riverines new RCBs. I notice that they have hull configuration more like original CB-90 (no sponsons or funky colors) and much more complete gun suite which Bob says includes:  (1) Mk 49 ROSAM with M2HB .50; (2) Mk 95 twin M2HB; (3) GAU-17/A 7.62mm Mini-gun; (4) Mk 93 single M2HB; (5) M240 7.62 GPMG.

Next few posts will show boat individually

NECC just conducted a big exercise called Trident Warrior 2011 (TW11) in locations across the Hampton Roads area, July 18-22.  I don't know if these boats took part in it?  But here is another photo of an RCB and what looks like a CRRC or similar NSW inflatable boat?

I just got back from Virginia, I was onboard JEB Little Creek for some unrelated stuff. But, yes it sure looked like these boats were taking part in the excerise. They were loaded up and getting underway daily.
