Nakhimov 889

The Russian Navy has already commissioned 12 of these advanced patrol boats to attend to their coasts. Their relatively small size allows them to conduct operations close to the shoreline. A small crew of eight members can take care of all functions on board. In addition, the boat can stay at sea for as long as five days at a time because it has onboard fuel and food stores.

The sleekly designed catamaran proved its worth during the 2003 Iraq invasion and served its purpose for the US Navy until 2013. An incident that drew a lot of attention was in 2016 when the warship, which was leased to the United Arab Emirates, was attacked by Houthi rebels and destroyed to the point of no repair. The Swift Catamaran was swift indeed as it could cruise at speeds of 45 knots.
