The "Tank" boat is an interesting concept. Maybe an alternative to the CB-90 if the UK ever decides to go down that route. Thanks Xav once again.

Hi xav,
for Visbys the weapons upgrades were mentioned, but not the plan to replace the two oldest with new builds (which may? be of different design).
Ever-lasting truths: Multi-year budgets/ planning by necessity have to address the painful questions; more often than not the Either-Or prevails over Both-And.
