HMBS Nassau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The HMBS Nassau is a patrol boat operated by the Bahamian military. It is one of two ships operated by the Bahamian military, the other being the HMBS Bahamas P-60. Like its sister ship, it is armed with several heavy Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns and a light auto cannon. It is commonly used for capturing illegal immigrants (particularly from Haiti), anti-piracy/smuggling missions, hurricane relief, search and rescue, routine patrols, and assisting maritime police. Along with the P-60, it is in active service. The RBDF uses the m16/ m4 for combat and the L1A1 for ceremonies.
