[marktigger]

saw one of thease in UM'Qasar the day Tony Blair visited I certainly wouldn'nt have wanted to take it on.

Can anyone provide some pics and an armament list?

2* Mk.38 25mm cannons
a Stinger missel station and
4 pintles that can hold either
machine guns or grenade launchers.

*The Navy is replacing one Mk.38 with a new Mk.96 platform
that combines the same gun with a grenade launcher, all on a stabilized turret.
