Well, well, well…what have we here?
Directly off Buxton, NC about 30 miles offshore while we were fishing we were passed by two of these boats heading Southeast at a very high rate of speed. Coming out of the Northwest I would assume they come out of the Norfolk area and were out for some Navy Seal training on the day.
These are relatively new ships to the Seal arsenal and are meant to be able to be hauled across the globe by airlift and give the teams the ability to travel over water at over 50+ knots. The dual mounted .50 cals on the back are clearly visible as is the low-viz paint scheme that these ships have been seen wearing for the past few years. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were headed out to some of the Navy’s training zones off the coast as we always see various aircraft heading out that was as well.
