Already-paid-for Obama-era Patrol Boat, sunk by Biden? Re-floated by Ukraine Crisis!

Video March 1, 2021 Hutchins AAron

(This report has been updated) In June 2022, the U.S. Navy (USN) announced a replacement for the expensive Mark VI(6) patrol boat; the 40PB Defiant.

As of January 2022, Ukraine placed an order for 12 Mark-6 patrol boats. This was part of a U.S. Department of State subsidized deal for 16 boats, announced back in June 2020!

In May 2021, the USN suspended their planned ‘divestment’ of the Mark-6 patrol boat.

Surprisingly, in February 2021 the USN announced that it will get rid of the Mark-6 by the end of the year, despite the fact that U.S. taxpayers already paid $15-million per Mark-6 Patrol Boat! The USN blames it on reliability problems and cost of operations, and the claim that the U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior wants to cut funding to the military!

The news of the USN’s decision to ‘divest’ their Mark-6 Patrol Boats comes a month after (January 2021) Ukraine signed a U.S. State Department Foreign Military Sales deal to buy the 16 new-build Mark-6 boats from SAFE Boats International. The total cost of the U.S. taxpayer subsidized deal comes to $600-million!

USMC photo by Sergeant Jennessa Davey, 06JAN2021.

In June 2020, the U.S. Department of State announced a Foreign Military Sale for up to 16 Mark-6 patrol boats, and associated equipment, to Ukraine. State Department Foreign Military Sales are subsidized with U.S. taxpayer funding, because the sales are considered a form of “security assistance”!
