MARK VI PATROL BOAT
Mark
VI is a class of patrol boat in
service with the United States Navy and is a part of the
Navy Expeditionary Combat Command’s (NECC) fleet of
combatant craft. The boats are designed to operate in brown, green,
and blue waters. They can conduct missions in the open ocean
to protect high-value assets. There are twelve of them.
A Mark VI boat is
84.8 ft long, significantly longer than previous classes
of Navy patrol boats. The rear deck and stern is able to
launch and recover small boats, unmanned aerial
drones, and unmanned undersea vehicles.
The propulsion system
of twin diesel engines and water-jets gives the aluminum-hulled
craft
a speed of faster than 35 kn.
A Mark VI
is equipped with ballistic protection, armor
plating around the engines and fuel storage. It
can fit inside the well deck of LHD, LPD and LSD class
amphibious warfare ships.
The cratf's mast lowers to
decrease overall height, allowing the craft to enter
amphibious ship well decks.
Mark VI patrol boat class
has a crew of 10 sailors and can carry 8 additional
personnel. The interior is spacious, with berthing for
the crew and shock-absorbing seats for other occupants;
the seats and sound deadening berthing spaces
and galley allow the crew to operate in relatively
high sea states while attenuating crew fatigue and risk
of injury. The boats are fully networked with a command,
control, communication and computing, surveillance and
intelligence suite
for enhanced situational awareness, survivability, and
multi-mission support which includes flat screen
monitors mounted throughout the boats. Payloads can be
configured to fulfill missions ranging from mine hunting
to defending against swarm boat attacks. The reconfigurable main
aft cabin can hold payloads such as Navy SEAL operators
or a medical facility.
Standard armament consists of two remote-controlled Mk
38 Mod 2 25 mm chain guns and six crewed M2 .50 caliber
machine guns. Depending on mission needs, gun mounts can
hold M240 machine guns, M134 miniguns, and Mk 19 grenade
launchers. The Mark VI is equipped with the MK50 Gun
Weapon System (GWS), a shipboard version of the
vehicle-mounted M153 CROWS remote turret that enables
crewmen to use its camera and gun from the operator's
station below deck.
Each Mark VI patrol boat costs $15 million to
build. In December 2018, two of
them completed a 500nm transit, demonstrating long-range
endurance.

We at ModelShipMaster.com show our
Mark VI model in large and close-up photos, at
all angles. Only large photos can really tell if a model
is good, having accurate features and fine parts. When
you view other Mark VI models on the Internet, ask the
following: Are the windows neat and uniform? Is it
missing an important large component in front of the
mast?
Any radars/sensors missing?
Is the
bow
deck correct? Does the RHIB have motor?
