Default The best fishing boat ever!

Next time on 'The Deadest Catch'...



Yes that's a fishing boat!

Note the .50 cal on the bow, the 8 122mm rockets on the bridge, and the ZU-23 flak gun on the stern.

Its a patrol boat used by the Abkhazian Navy. Who also built this gem...

Yep those are rocket launchers off an aircraft with a .50 cal tacked on. I hope that .50 is remote operated otherwise its gunner is in trouble the moment they fire those rockets...

You've got it all wrong, those pictures are a preview of the Royal Navy's new "compact" Destroyers
