The mission gets upgraded. (Digest).
Mission Powerboat Service has announced the 2K2 Port Security
upgrade version of its Tiger high-speed patrol boats. The upgraded Tiger
provides intercept speeds in excess of 80 knots as well as an advanced
ballistic armour package for crew protection and security. The 2K2 has
been designed with sling-load hard-points to allow for shipboard
transportation and fast deployment prior to entering a port, thereby
allowing a pair of Tigers to lead the way for the main vessel and
provide a fast reaction, close-in security escort. The advanced Tiger
boats are currently being used by the US military in a variety of
special warfare, counter-terrorism and law enforcement operations.
