We should have bought CB90's...

U.S. Marines ride in a Multi-Mission Reconnaissance Craft Bravo at Naha Military Port, Okinawa, Japan, June 10, 2026. Offering superior maneuverability in shallow waters, these boats allow for rapid deployment in support of littoral operations. They are equipped to transport personnel and supplies, ensuring Marine forces maintain operational tempo and sustainment in austere, distributed environments. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.

What does that mission set sound like? Yeah. That fits the CB90 to a tee only it would do it better. Better? I mean its faster, can carry more gear and troops, is out the box ready to mount weapons, launch uavs and sensors too. Did I mention that it is designed to operate in the "littorals"? The Marine Corps once again looked for an elegant solution instead of a ready made one. The USMC isn't threatened by extinction because its a "second land army". Fuck no. The Marine Corps is threatened by extinction because its NO LONGER A BARGAIN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!! Below is a pick of the boat we should have bought. The mighty CB90!
