Let's see your best military boat pics

OK - lets see your best pictures featuring military boats!!

No ships please and try and keep it to RIBS but the odd "hard boat" won't be ridiculed too much!

Here's my starter for ten ........

1) One of the RAF Sailing Association's 585 Ribcrafts
2) Arctic with twin 250 two strokes
3) Navy Pacific
4) Clyde MOD Plod
5) Arctic - not sure where though

Is it the Halmatic with the twin o/b's?, one of the police crew told me it uses more fuel at full throttle than the force helicopter.

Those dodgy wire ladders are somewhat of a challenge to climb up on land let alone on boat bobbing up and down!

Fkk me working for the Envoirnmant Agency must be more tougher than I thought it was. I guess its a risky business sampling water Mind you that accesorry would make it easier to test for lead poisoning or does it fire depleted Uranium or even god forbid Kryptonite

A friend of mine works at the Royal Naval Sailing Centre at Whale Island. He spends his days on assorted big RIBs. Couple of shots here from a powerboat level 2 course he was teaching. They did a passage to Cowes and back, used 400 litres of her Majesties petrol (twin Mariner 200 EFIs)
