BUILDING A SYSTEM, NOT JUST A BOAT
Providing a support infrastructure with the boat means a full-meal-deal: designed to use existing facilities and minimize the learning curve to ensure a quick and smooth transition
Conceived as a true multi-mission platform to meet projected needs as well as current needs
Leverages modern technology, taking advantage of 30 years of marine industry advances, including newer hull forms, propulsion systems, fendering systems, and navigation and communications equipment
Uses a "best value" balanced approach by aligning requirements against initial capital investment and long term operational expense
Provides life cycle support that encompasses all logistics, including training, maintenance, parts, repair, and future upgrades
Standardizes the fleet to streamline operations and reduce costs
